What is the difference between a land use permit and a conditional use permit?
The Douglas County Zoning Ordinance includes a map of the county identifying the zoning districts. Each zoning district has a number of allowed uses and uses allowed with a conditional use permit. The primary difference is that a land use permit is approved by the Zoning Administrator and does not require approval by the Zoning Committee. A conditional use permit does require a public hearing and approval by the Zoning Committee.
