The purpose of a basic use permit is to ensure compliance with the land development regulations (LDRs) for uses that are compatible with the zone in which they are proposed.
The purpose of a conditional use permit is to individually and publicly review the configuration, density, and intensity of a use that is generally compatible with the character of a zone, but requires additional, site-specific conditions to limit and mitigate effects that may be adverse to the desired character of the zone.
