Occupations, with some uses requiring a CUP, providing due process for the neighbors. The request is
<br />consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
<br />
<br />Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard.
<br />
<br />3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.
<br />There is a 40-acre farm directly to the south and a 52-acre vacant parcel to the southeast that could be
<br />developed in the future. With conditions of approval, the use should not impede the normal and orderly
<br />development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.
<br />
<br />4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire
<br />protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks, and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic
<br />congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.
<br />th
<br />The subject parcel has one access point from County Road 33 (209 Avenue) where it has been noted
<br />delivery vehicles, who are lost, stop on County Road 33 and back up to then turn into the subject parcel.
<br />Delivery drivers becoming lost is not due to the type of use on the property, but the frequency of deliveries
<br />may create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.
<br />
<br />Concerns regarding business/delivery traffic going through the neighborhood east of the subject parcel and
<br />th
<br />accessing the site from the cul-de-sac on 208 Avenue have been brought up. The applicant has indicated
<br />they do not need to use this access. Access to the subject parcel, for business activities, shall occur only at
<br />the single driveway located on County Road 33 could be considered by the commission.
<br />
<br />While permitted home occupations limit delivery vehicles to 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, tractor
<br />trailer parking is permitted outright in the R-1a district on parcels five acres in size. Vehicles with 26,000
<br />pounds of gross weight fall in the medium-duty truck category. These are often commercial vehicles used
<br />for various purposes such as delivery trucks, box trucks, and flatbed trucks.
<br />
<br />To have deliveries from vehicles over 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, they would need approval with
<br />this CUP request. A condition of approval could be to limit the size of vehicles making deliveries and/or
<br />the frequency of deliveries. The applicant is allowed to park a tractor trailer on his property on an approved
<br />surface by the city code.
<br />
<br />5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
<br />persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations.
<br />The loading and unloading of equipment, garbage/recycling pickup, general equipment noise, and vehicle
<br />parking/circulation could create excessive noise, fumes, and dust if specific conditions cannot be imposed
<br />to mitigate these detrimental activities.
<br />
<br />Portions of Section 30-937 Lighting, state: All sources of artificial lights shall be so fixed, directed, designed
<br />or sized that the minimum subtotal of their illumination will not increase the level of illumination on any
<br />nearby residential property by more than 0.1 footcandle in or within 25 feet of a dwelling or by more than
<br />0.5 footcandle on any part of the property. Glare, whether direct or reflected, as different from general
<br />illumination, shall not be visible from beyond the limits of the immediate site from which it originates.
<br />
<br />Portions of Section 46-37 Nuisances, declare the following to be nuisance noises: Human noise. Yelling,
<br />shouting, screaming, whistling, or singing at any time or place so as to annoy or disturb the quiet, comfort,
