SPECIAL USE PERMIT REMINDERS
A Special Use Permit is a quasi-judicial action designated by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners to the Randolph County Planning Board. Special Use Permits only
allow the specified use and the Randolph County Planning Board must find the following findings of fact: 1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as
submitted and approved; 2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications as outlined in the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance;
3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity; and 4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in
which it is to be located and in general conformity with the Randolph
County Unified Development Ordinance. Only testimony by “expert witnesses” that can prove their status as an expert witness can be considered by the Planning Board for approving or denying a Special Use Permit.
In granting the Special Use Permit, the Planning Board may designate only those conditions as authorized by the North Carolina General Statutes. Any conditions shall be agreed to by the applicant or property owner in writing before the vote of the Planning Board for the conditions to be enforceable.
When denying a Special Use Permit, the Board Member making the motion to deny the request should cite which of the above required findings of facts were NOT met.
