A use variance is a variance that authorizes a land use not normally permitted by the zoning ordinance. Such a variance has much in common with a special-use permit (sometimes known as a conditional use permit).

A conditional use refers to how a parcel or building is operated that is not principally permitted in a particular zoning district. Pursuant to Planning Code Section 303, the Planning Commission shall hear and make determinations regarding Conditional Use Authorization applications.

Conditional uses are land uses that because of their special nature may be suitable only in certain locations, or arranged or operated in a particular manner. For example: Local agencies can restrict the time, place and manner in which convenience stores, liquor stores and fast-food outlets operate.
