What the Melissa zoning ordinance says about special land uses, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
A use marked S on the Schedule of Uses (Sec. 20) requires City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit after a public hearing and a Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation that the use generally conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and City objectives, with any conditions or safeguards the City Council deems necessary (Sec. 18(B)(1)).
The Schedule of Uses in Sec. 20 marks each use X (permitted by right), S (permitted only with a Specific Use Permit, sometimes with a lettered conditional development standard from Sec. 20.3), or blank (prohibited). Special zoning districts (DOD, CC/O) mark uses X (subject to the base district), X(S) (subject to the base district's SUP requirement), or blank (prohibited) rather than repeating the full use list. Confirm the exact mark for the specific use and district before acting.
