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.

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) - also called a "special exception" in some jurisdictions - grants permission to operate a specific land use in a zoning district where that use is allowed only under certain 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.

Why Track Conditional Use Permit?

A CUP for a medical facility, educational institution, or large retail operation generates foot traffic and economic activity that affects surrounding property values. Tracking CUPs reveals what the market is demanding in specific locations - even before the zoning code is formally updated to reflect that demand.
