In order to provide the Town of Holland with the maximum flexibility in the attraction of potential business and industrial investors, business and industrial uses may be permitted with a special use permit in R-A, GB, HB and M Districts of the Town, provided that the standards and requirements detailed below are complied with:

A. The types of uses permitted shall be similar but not limited to those specified in § 120-25: GB General Business District, § 120-26: HB Highway Business District and § 120-27: M Manufacturing and Industrial District of this chapter.
B. Said use shall front on a road which, in the opinion of the Town Board, is adequate to accommodate the volume of traffic the specific use is expected to generate.
C. The Town Board shall not grant a special use permit for a restricted business or industrial use when the area in which the use is proposed exhibits a residential character. In addition to other criteria, the Town Board may consider an area to have a residential character when a circle [radius 2,980 feet] drawn around the center of the proposed use contains 1/3 of the homes the area [approximately one square mile] of the circle would have if developed to the density allowed by this Zoning Chapter. In the determination of density, factors such as road frontage, adaptability of physical terrain and potential development shall be taken into consideration.
D. The Town Board shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to approve or deny such application for a special use permit. In the event of disapproval by the Town Board, the administrative remedy of the applicant is to petition the Town Board for an amendment to this chapter to allow the proposed use.
E. Other standards and requirements shall conform to the standards specified in § 120-76: Application procedure of this chapter.
