132 <br />133 Although not primary uses, Planning Division staff would recommend inclusion of offices and <br />134 public learning/outreach room(s) in the definition to provide greater clarity of the ESC's use and <br />135 operation. <br />136 <br />137 Similarly, Table 1007-2 does not include an applicable use that is suitable enough to qualify as an <br />138 ESC. And, while governmental offices are a use within the ESC, it is not the primary use(s) of the <br />139 ESC as identified in the above definition. As such, the ESC use should be added to the table. Below <br />140 is a portion of Table 1007-2, while the full Chapter is provided as Attachment 5. <br />141 <br />Table 1007-2 INST Standards <br />Civic/Institutional <br />Emergency Services (police, fire, ambulance) P <br />Governmental Offices P <br />Environmental Services Center C <br />142 <br />143 As indicated above, the proposed text amendment would include amending Table 1007-2 to include <br />144 Environmental Services Center as a conditional use “C”. No specific standards are being noted <br />145 and/or required given the uniqueness of the use, beyond the general standards and criteria applicable <br />146 to all conditional uses. <br />147 <br />148 Review of Conditional Use Request <br />149 Zoning Code §1009.02.C sets the criteria for reviewing general conditional use requests. The <br />150 Planning Division’s review of these criteria was completed from the attached project development <br />151 plans and, to some degree, the narrative. Please note that while this is a new use to be analyzed <br />152 against the general CU criteria below, it is not unlike any other development the Planning Division <br />153 staff reviews on a daily basis. Therefore, required Code items or standards are not specifically <br />154 discussed herein as these are required regardless of the ESC being a new use or a conditional <br />155 use. Said another way, no building permits will be issued until all applicable code requirements are <br />156 met. <br />157 <br />158 Review of General Conditional Use Criteria: §1009.02.C of the Zoning Code establishes general <br />159 standards and criteria for all conditional uses and the Planning Commission and City Council must <br />160 determine compliance with those stated findings. <br />161 As indicated above, Table 1007-2 would be amended to include Environmental Services Center as a <br />162 conditional use “C” and no specific standards required. <br />163 <br />164 Review of General Conditional Use Criteria: §1009.02.C of the Zoning Code establishes general <br />165 standards and criteria for all conditional uses and the Planning Commission and City Council must <br />166 determine compliance with those stated findings. <br />167 <br />168 The general code standards of §1009.02.C are as follows: <br />169 <br />170 1.The proposed use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. While an environmental <br />171 services center doesn’t appreciably advance land use goals of the Comprehensive Plan, aside from <br />172 facilitating continued investment in a property, Planning Division staff believe the proposed use does <br />173 not conflict with land use goals outlined within the Comprehensive Plan either. More specifically, <br />174 the General and Commercial Area Goals and Policies sections of the Comprehensive Plan include a <br />175 number of policies related to reinvestment, redevelopment, quality development, and <br />Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br />
