Applicable Regulations Conditional Use Permit The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 7. lYlill 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 orgeneral welfare of the neighborhood or the city. 2. lY/ill be consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. lY/ill not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. 4. lY/ill 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 systeme; parks and schools; and aarill not, in particular, create tra~c congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. S. lYlill 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. 6. 1Ylill not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historzc feature of major importance. 7. lYlill 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 recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654. In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these standards. Analysis In a review of the Conditional Use Permit application, and the standards outlined by the City Ordinance (above), it appears that all standards are generally met, although there will be visual impact to the adjacent parcels, most notably the homes immediately adjacent to the proposed well house. Additionally, the proposed grading anticipated will require the removal of several trees, moving the tree line approximately 8-20 feet south of its current location. In working with the applicant, other locations were considered for the placement of the building and the well, to avoid the tree impact, but were discarded due to service needs or wetland impacts. Based on this analysis, it appears that the visual impact by placing the well house on site is unavoidable; protective screening and building materials were reviewed.
