What is Conditional Use Permit (CUP)?
A permit allowing a specific land use in a zone where it's not automatically permitted, subject to conditions.

Unlike a use variance (which overrides the zoning code), a CUP is specifically contemplated by the code as a use that may be appropriate if certain conditions are met.
