  What’s a conditional use permit?

  Virginia law calls this a special exception, or special use permit:

  “‘Special exception’ means a special use that is a use not permitted in a particular district except by a special use permit granted under the provisions of this chapter and any zoning ordinances adopted herewith.”

  Code of Virginia § 15.2-2201, Chapter 22. Planning, Subdivision of Land and Zoning
