<br />not apply. <br />5. Trash is proposed to be handled in a covered enclosure attached to the building <br />constructed of the same building materials. <br />6. The lighting plan must comply with the City's design standards that require site lighting <br />to utilize downcast fixtures that conceal the source of light. <br /> <br />Section 1005.09 details specific standards for automobile service stations. The following <br />comments reference the standards included in this section: <br /> <br />I. The site plan indicates that the entire surface, other than that taken by the structure and <br />landscape area, will be surfaced with concrete or asphalt with concrete curb and gutter <br />surrounding and defining the parking lot. <br />2. The drainage system has been reviewed by the Engineering Department and found to be <br />adequate for the review of the conditional use permit application. Final details will need <br />to be worked out at the time of building permit review. <br />3. All parking and service areas are defined by curb and gutter and are at least 5 feet from all <br />property lines. <br />4. The pump islands are in excess of 25 feet from the property line. <br />5. County permits will be necessary for driveways located on County Road B (see <br />traffic consultant's comments concerning these access points). <br />6. The sign package is subject to the sign code and the zoning code and is reviewed as a part <br />of a ~parate sign permit a'ppli~~tion. No signage is permitted on the canopy. <br />7. The sale of other retail products will be conducted in compliance with the requirements <br />and conditions for sales in B-3 districts. <br /> <br />8) CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA: In addition to the design standards relating specifically to <br />automobile service stations, Chapter 1013.01 of the City Code list 6 criteria to be reviewed when <br />considering an application for a conditional use permit. These criteria include: <br /> <br />I. The impact on traffic. <br />2. The impact on parks, streets, and other public utilities. <br />3. Compatibility of the site plan and internal traffic circulation, landscaping and structures <br />with contiguous properties. <br />4. The impact of the use on the market values of contiguous properties. <br />5. Impact on the general health, safety, and welfare. <br />6. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />The project is consistent with the 6 criteria. A motor fuel station has been in operation at this site <br />since 1958. The intersection of Snelling Avenue and County Road B has retail development on <br />all four quadrants. The intersection is signalized and designed to handle large traffic volumes. A <br />convenience store/gas station is compatible with adjacent commercial properties. In staff's <br />opinion, Improving the current conditions of the site will have a positive impact on the market <br />value of contiguous properties and will not have any negative impact on the general health, <br /> <br />3 <br />
