A conditional use permit (CUP) is a type of permit that allows a property owner to use their land in ways that are not ordinarily permitted by local zoning laws or regulations. Typically, the permit is granted for uses that may impact the community in a significant way, such as large-scale commercial or industrial projects, religious institutions, or other special uses. A CUP will usually come with specific conditions and requirements to ensure that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and doesn't negatively impact the community or environment.
