May 23, 2024 Page 6 At the same time, the School recognizes the value of light industrial uses within the City and that retaining such uses is essential for continued growth and economic development. To that end, we propose working closely with staff to develop performance standards that ensure that limited industrial properties are protected and that schools and associated uses would only be permitted in the event of strict compliance with the standards. These standards would be incorporated within the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Subject to Council’s guidance and direction, additional performance standards might include: 1) proximity or adjacency to residential areas, 2) limited or no truck traffic through shared drive- aisles, 3) traffic management plans for worship services, 4) implementation of sustainability metrics, and 5) development of and access to recreational space within the subject property. 5. Conditional Use Permit Schools and religious uses currently are allowed within the City’s residential districts subject to a CUP. While the School’s formal application will fully describe and support how the Project will function with limited negative impacts to the surrounding property owners and detail how shared spaces within the MPUD would function with the School in place, a preliminary review of the site conditions reflects that use of the Property for a school and associated religious purpose meets the standards outline in the City Code. a. Traffic Standards: The proposed use is not expected to significantly exacerbate existing traffic congestion or parking shortages in the area. Adequate parking facilities are planned, and traffic flow assessments indicate manageable impacts on the surrounding road network. b. Noise, Glare, Odors, Vibration, Smoke, Dust, Air Pollution, Heat, Liquid or Solid Waste and other Nuisance Characteristics: The School simply will not produce these impacts. Noise and any nuisance conditions relative to the two non-school buildings can be managed prior to formal approvals and in conjunction with public outreach to the existing tenants and building management. c. Drainage: no exterior site changes are proposed by the School. The existing MPUD provides for effective drainage systems on the Property. d. Population Density: approval of the proposed uses will likely result in new families moving into or closer to the City. However, approval of the proposed uses will not lead to a significant increase in population density that would strain existing infrastructure or services. e. Visual and Land Use Compatibility: No exterior changes are proposed by this Project. The constructive reuse of the buildings will retain consistency with the existing uses within the Center and compliment the surrounding residential neighborhoods. f. Adjoining Land Values: the purchase of the building, full tenancy by the School and active use of the Property is anticipated to have a positive effect on adjoining land values. g. Orderly Development and Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The proposed uses align with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan for the City, contributing to the orderly development of the City.
