APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Conditional Use Permit The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The application of these criteria to the School is unique, in the sense that the school is not expected to generate noise, smoke, odors, etc. negatively impacting neighbors. The school will likely increase traffic volume in the area, but not excessively so. However, the noise, smoke, and odors generated by neighboring industrial uses, while appropriate in the district, maybe disruptive to the school. It is important that the School and the City Council recognize these impacts. 2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The City Council has determined that the school is consistent with the Comprehensive plan. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. It is possible that businesses may chose not to relocate to the park with the addition of the school. It is equallypossible that businesses will chose to locate near the school. However, it is likelythat businesses choosing to locate near the school will not be industrial based, which could be viewed as an impediment to the orderly development of the area. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. The existing public facilities should accommodate the school. S. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive tra~c, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. Like in # 1 above, the school is not expected to introduce certain characteristics that negatively impact the business park. However, it is likelythat neighboring uses employprocesses and activities that generate externalities that do not meet the higher threshold a school would impose. It is important that the School and the City Council recognize these impacts. N:\Departments\CommunityDevelopment\Plannina\Case Files\CUP\CU 10-22 Spectnun\CU 10-22 Spectnun SRto PC 11-9-10.docx
