Applicable Regulations In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the council may impose such specific conditions �vith regard to the development oY opeYation of the pYoposed use as it consideYs necessar�r to satisfyr the seven standards set foYth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote comparibilityT with and minimize anyT potentiall�T adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the cinT. The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered onl�T if the use at the proposed location: 1. LVill not en�iinge�; inju�e oT• det�z�nentally affect the use and enjoylnent of othe��p� ope�fiy in the iyn�nediate vicinity oT� the public health, safety, ynozals, colnfoT�, convenience o�•general �a�elfa�e of the neighl�oThood oT� the city. The parking of licensed and operable vehicles on drivewayTs in residential zoning districts is permitted. The concern ��ith the Yequest is the size of the vehicles. These are large woYk trucks used for painting traffic signals or similar. Staff has included conditions limiting the total number of work vehicles on site to three and prohibiting using the street for work-related parking. These conditions do not address the visual impact of the vehicle parking, but it does limit the potential impact to the neighborhood. 2. LVill l�e consistent 2arith tbe Coynprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan supports gro`ving our business community and preserving residential districts. Recognizing that home occupations are an allowed use under the zoning district, the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. LVill not ilnpede the noT7nal and oTdeT ly developinent an� i1np� ove�nent of su�7�ounding vacantp� ope�7y. The adjacent Yesidential land is fully developed with single-family Yesidenrial uses. A cityr paYk is located across the river to the north, but the parking area is largely screened by the home. There is also a vacant lot across High�vayT 10 to the south. This parcel has received approval for a residential development including an apartment building and townhomes. The proposed use would not impact development and improvement of surrounding properties. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 4. LVill l�e seyved adequately l�y and �a�ill not adve�:sely affect essential pul�lic facilities and se�vices including street�; police and fire protection, dyainage, Tefuse dis�osal, aa�ater� and se�a�ey �yste�ns, pa�ks and schools; and aa�ill not, in pa��icular, cr�eate t�a�c congestion oy inteT, feTence 2a�ith tza�c on adjacent and neighl�o�zngpul�lic thoroughfares. CityT ordinance limits drive`vayT connections to cit�T streets at t�va The applicant recentl�T constructed a third drivewayT, creating a non-conformance. Staff spoke `vith the applicant about this issue and advised him to remove one of the three drivewayTs. This process is currentlyT under�vayT and needs to be addressed independent of the CUP request.
