City Planning Commission of the City of Greensburg v. Threshold, Inc

In City Planning Commission of the City of Greensburg v. Threshold, Inc., 12 Pa. Commw. 104, 315 A.2d 311, 313 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1974), the Court enunciated the burden necessary to qualify for a conditional use: In applying for a conditional use, we believe that the applicant carries the burden of proving that his proposed use is one permitted as a conditional use by the applicable zoning ordinance and that he has complied with all the reasonable standards established by that ordinance. When such proofs have been established, however, the burden of going forward with the evidence and establishing that the proposed conditional use does not meet the standards of the ordinance shifts to the objecting party.
