Wlill be served adequately by and ~arill not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse dir~iosal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and mill not, in particular, create tra~ic congestion or interference with tra, ffzc on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. The Council may or may not determine that the use will adversely affect surrounding public facilities, in particular the street. 5. Weill not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equ pment and conditions of operation that mill be detrimental to any persons orproperty because of excessive tra~c, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. The Council may or may not determine that the use will involve activities that are detrimental to other persons or property due to noise or traffic. 6. 1-Vill not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. The Council may or may not determine that the improvements on the property will result in the destruction of natural or scenic features. 7. mill fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and standards for the issuance of a license orpermit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city. If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany findings stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654. It is important to consider these standards as they apply to the proposed use, not the use that has occurred in the past. The use of the dwelling unit fox prayer and meditation is anon-regulated use. The Planning Commission and Council should discuss any concerns with standards #1, 4, and 5 as they apply to the proposal versus the use of the property for prayer and meditation. Does regulating the property through the Conditional Use Permit, including adding reasonable conditions help to address the concerns of septic tanks, noise, and traffic? Does a larger sign help direct visitors to the property, rather than searching through the neighborhood as reported? Does an alteration of the property to provide for additional off street parking address the haphazard parking system in the past? It is staff's opinion that the appropriate construction of a parking lot, and the ability to regulate the property based on the Conditional Use Permit criteria will address the addressable concerns raised thus far.
