� 6.O REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA 0 6.1 Section 1013.01 (Conditional Use Permits) of the City Code requires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CUP application: a. Impact on traffic; b. Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; c. Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; d. Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; e. Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and f. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6.2 Impact on traffic: The Planning Division has determined that an increase in traffic volume, due to the size of the proposed 1,080-square-foot accessory structure on the property, will not be an issue given that the building will not be for storage of daily-use vehicles and will not have a driveway. 6.3 Impact on parks, streets and other public facilities: The Planning Division has determined that the proposed accessory structure will not have an adverse impact on the City's parks, streets, and/or other facilities. 6.4 Compatibility ... with contiguous properties: Other detached buildings in the area range from 120-square-foot garden sheds to accessory structures in excess of 900 square feet. The proposed accessory structure would not appreciably change the circulation on the property, and the proposed building would be located far away from structures on adjacent properties and would be largely screened by several mature trees. 6.5 Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties: Although the current proposal seeks cotvDiTiotvAL usE approval to build the largest accessory structure allowed on a single-family residential property, the Planning Division has determined that the proposed building is unlikely to have an adverse impact on contiguous properties because it will be at least 225 feet from any other residence and will reduce clutter on the property by housing several large items currently stored outside. 6.6 Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare: The Planning Division believes that the proposed accessory building will have no impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare. 6.7 Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan: An accessory structure is a permitted use (and the proposed accessory building is a conditionally permitted use) in the R-1 Single-Family Residence District and is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Low-Density Residential.
