Meaning
According to Commerce City’s Land Development Code, “Use-By-Permit shall mean a use that does not qualify as a use-by-right on a particular piece of property but that the board of adjustment, in its discretion, approves or may approve in accordance with the terms of this land development code. Uses-by-Permit are typically issued for uses that may have unique or widely varying operating characteristics, may have potential operational or other impacts on adjacent properties, or may have unusual site development demands.”

Use-by-Permit
A Use-by-Permit allows for certain land uses in a given zoning district that generally require a more in-depth study and additional site design or use restrictions than uses permitted by right. Use-by-Permits are generally subject to certain conditions to ensure that the use is appropriate for the area.

Uses that require a Use-by-Permit can be found in the LDC Land Use Table.
