Such uses may have an unusually heavy impact on the adjoining uses; may involve a great area of land; may be of a temporary or seasonal nature; or may be public or semi-public in character, and consequently play a vital role in the life of the community. Therefore, the locations of these uses are subject to special conditions in order to insure that there is protection for the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The sections under Article 27A of this Ordinance describe the conditions which must be met and maintained before certain uses will be permitted in particular zoning districts. 27A-2.07 The Buildinq Inspection Division shall issue a permit for a freestandinq banner within the front yard setback for a promotional event on property located in a "B-3" Business District, "B-4" General Business District, "1-2" Light Industrial District or "1-3" Heavy H:\LEG DIR\DoyleDCurtis\MYDOCS~2003\P&ZORD03~Zoning ord\DO,¥L,E,(~2003\Sec27A2 07Banner.
