City Code Section 1355.04 Subd. <br />3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating a Conditional Use Permit. The <br />City Council should consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience <br />and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land and the community, in <br />general, including but not limited to the following factors: <br />1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions; <br />2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and <br />other nuisance characteristics; <br />3. Drainage; <br />4. Population density; <br />5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; <br />6. Adjoining land values; <br />7. Park dedications where applicable; <br />8.
