A Special Use Permit is required for those uses specifically identified with an “S” in the Use Tables in Chapter 5 of the Unified Development Code. Examples of these uses include, but are not limited to, Bed and Breakfasts, Cemeteries, and Emergency Services (in Residential Districts) or Major Event Entertainment, Firing Ranges, and Wrecking Yards (in Commercial Districts).
