Conditional Use

(a)In addition to permitted uses in each of the zones, specified uses are permitted upon approval by the Commission of the site plan including, but not limited to, disposal of sewage, access, parking, structure location and dimensions of buildings, impact of the proposed use on adjacent land uses, and accompanying covenants that may include performance standards. The Commission shall also consider such other elements as may be reasonably related to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Copies of the decision by the Commission shall be filed with the Department of Land Management’s Office of the Registrar and in the records of the Department of Public Works. All terms and conditions imposed by the Commission upon approval of a conditional use permit shall be covenants that run with the land in perpetuity for that specific conditional use. Maintenance of terms and conditions imposed by the permit shall be the responsibility of the property owner. The Guam Land Use Commission is authorized to revoke approval of a conditional use permit for any failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the conditional use. The Director of Land Management shall withhold approval or endorsement of any building permit, certificate of occupancy, or license for use of said property for any failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the conditional use as set forth by the Commission in approving the conditional use permit.

(b)Notwithstanding any prior conditional use as provided in subsection

(a)of this section, any amendment to a site plan which plan was previously approved by the Commission shall be approved by the Commission in accordance with the criteria set forth in subsections

(a)and

(c)of this section.
