Defined as discharge systems such as <br /> package treatment plants or non- <br /> discharge systems such as spray <br /> irrigation or low-pressure injection. <br /> 2 . Permitted as a Class A Special Use if: <br /> a) All Special Use Permit requirements <br /> are met; and <br /> b) soils are unsuitable for <br /> conventional on-site disposal; <br /> OR <br /> soils are suitable for on-site <br /> disposal, but open space is <br /> preserved through clustering; and <br /> C) the site is not served by public <br /> sewer. <br /> A new Article 8.8.27 is also proposed, which <br /> establishes specific Special Use Permit <br /> conditions for alternative wastewater <br /> treatment systems.
