55 b.A microbrewery among the office, bank, retail, lodging, and restaurant uses that surround it 56 contributes to the commercial-area goal of “promot\[ing\] an appropriate mix of commercial 57 development types within the community.” 58 2. The proposed use is not in conflict with any Regulating Maps or other adopted plans. The site is 59 not subject to a regulating map, nor is the proposed use in conflict with the previously approved 60 PUD or its subsequent amendment. 61 3. The proposed use is not in conflict with any City Code requirements. Based on the plans that 62 have been received and reviewed thus far, staff have not uncovered any City Code conflicts, and 63 the proposed microbrewery must meet all applicable City Code regulations, or the applicant must 64 secure any necessary variance approvals, in order to receive the required construction permits. 65 Moreover, a conditional use approval can be rescinded if the approved use fails to comply with 66 all applicable City Code requirements or any conditions of the approval. 67 4. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other public 68 facilities. The proposed microbrewery will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, or 69 other public facilities because its impacts are expected to be comparable to the former restaurant 70 in this location, or many of the other uses permitted in the CB zoning district. 71 5. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively 72 impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and 73 general welfare. Consistent with the preceding findings, the proposed microbrewery will be a 74 valuable addition to the surrounding commercial area, will not create adverse traffic impacts, 75 will positively affect surrounding property values, and will not cause harm to the public health, 76 safety, and general welfare, especially when compared to other uses permitted at the property. 77 Public Comment 78 The duly noticed public hearing for the conditional use application was held by the Planning 79 Commission on October 2, 2019.
