REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA Section 1013.01 (Conditional Uses) of the City Code requires the City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CoND�1'totvAL t1sE application: • Impact on traffic; • Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; • Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; • Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; • Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and • Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. �� 6.1 Impact on traffic: Planning Division staff has been unable to find reliable information ��> pertaining to the level of traffic that could be expected from a small bus company/ � i property maintenance yard, but anticipates that the number of trips would be comparable �� to the traffic generated by the previous emissions testing facility or other permitted uses. ;`� 6.2 Impact on parks, streets and other public facilities: There are no parks in the vicinity �o of the subject property and Planning Division staff believes that the bus and truck traffic �' will be comparatively light weight relative to other industrial-type vehicles like dump H2 trucks, semis, and the like. Far this reason, the proposed conditional use is not expected �; to have significant impacts on parks, streets, or other public facilities. �, 6.3 Compatibility ... with contiguous properties: With only one entrance to the site from u, Partridge Road and no direct access to the neighboring properties, the site plan and ��; internal circulation for this property will not affect contiguous properties. 87 �� �� �o :3� �2 �:s c; � 6.4 Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties: When a property is assigned Zoning and Comprehensive Plan land use designations, careful consideration is given to protecting the value of surrounding properties. In light of this, and because the proposed outdoor storage is among the uses that are allowed (conditionally or otherwise) in the I-2 District and is consistent with the "industrial" designation of the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Division has determined that the proposed outdoor storage use will not have a significant iinpact on the market value of the contiguous industrial and business properties. �„ 6.5 Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare: Planning Division staff has ��i> determined that the proposed outdoor storage would have no discernable impact on the g7 general public health, safety, and welfare since the on-site activities (e.g., loading and �� unloading of job-site vehicles, regular maintenance of vehicles and equipment, �� dispatching, etc.) are very limited and of a somewhat similar nature to the activities on the ;,o neighboring properties to the north. � o� 6.6 Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan: Screened outdoor storage of � 02 materials and heavy equipment is a conditionally permitted use in the I-2 District and is '� ^? compatible with the industrial designation of the Comprehensive Plan.
