The information contained herein provides an explanation on the nature of the permit proceedings, the presentation of evidence, burden of proof, what constitutes testimony and who can present evidence, and your rights with respect to challenging a decision to either approve or reject a SUP application. 1. What is a Special Use Permit? A Special Use Permit (SUP) is a permit allowing for the establishment of certain uses, in certain districts, that are considered worthy of additional scrutiny in their proposed location. Such uses typically require special review for design, location, and impact on surrounding properties. Orange County has 2 different categories of SUP, specifically: i. Class A reviewed and acted upon by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), with a recommendation from the Planning Board, and ii. Class B reviewed and acted upon by the Orange County Board of Adjustment. 2. What is considered a `Special Use'? A SUP is required for those specific land uses identified within the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Table of Permitted Uses contained within Section 5.2. These uses are identified in the UDO's Table of Permitted Uses with an `A" for Class A SUP and a `B' for a Class B SUP. Some uses may be permissible in certain districts without restriction (referred to as "uses by right"), but require the SUP in districts where their impact calls for special consideration. Applicants are entitled to be granted a SUP if they can show that specific standards would be met. 3. When are such applications reviewed? Review of a SUP application occurs during a previously scheduled and advertised public hearings held by either the BOCC or the Board of Adjustment. The review of an application is a carried out in a quasi-judicial process. The typical cadence associated with the review of a SUP is broken down in Section 2.7 of the UDO and can be summarized using the following flow chart:
