All driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. Background/Discussion The property is 4.89 acres and zoned R1a single family residential where home occupations occurring in accessory structures require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to operate a commercial auto repair business out of their detached accessory structure. Approximately half of the subject parcel is wetland, and a large electrical line/easement runs through the center of the parcel. West of the subject parcel is a 9.13-acre undeveloped parcel which is mostly wetlands. The remaining adjacent parcels are all developed as single-family residential properties ranging is size from 2.5 to 6.74 acres. An existing privacy fence and large trees block most of the public view from the road. A house about 700 feet to the west, across the wetland, may have sight lines to the subject area. Applicable Regulations In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. 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.

Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. The only vacant parcel is the 9.13-acre parcel west of the subject parcel, which is mostly wetlands and likely undevelopable. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 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.
