What is a use permit?

A Conditional Use Permit or Minor Use Permit is a discretionary action that enables the County to ensure that a proposed use is consistent with all General Plan goals and policies and will not create negative impacts on adjacent properties or the general public. Uses that are conditionally allowed are indicated for each zone under the Zoning Ordinance.
