"For the permit to be struck down, the county board's grant of the permit with the incomplete application must also have been an abuse of discretion." Loncorich v. Buss, 868 N.W.2d 755, 760 (Minn. App. 2015). Goodhue County, Minn., Zoning Ordinance, art. 13, ยง 6, subd. 6 requires:
We independently review a county's grant of a CUP "to determine if it is unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious." Loncorich v. Buss, 868 N.W.2d 755, 759 (Minn. App. 2015). A county acts unreasonably if the reasons for its decision are legally insufficient or lack a factual basis in the record.
"If a conditional use permit applicant demonstrates to the governing body that imposing a reasonable condition would eliminate any conflict with the ordinance's standards and criteria, it follows that the governing body's subsequent denial would be arbitrary." Loncorich v. Buss, 868 N.W.2d 755, 761 (Minn. App. 2015) (quotation omitted). It is the applicants' burden to propose conditions that would mitigate any concerns.
