For this reason, the proposed conditional use is not expected <br />84 to have significant impacts on parks, streets, or other public facilities. <br />85 6.3 Compatibility ... with contiguous properties: With only one entrance to the site from <br />86 Partridge Road and no direct access to the neighboring properties, the site plan and <br />87 internal circulation for this property will not affect contiguous properties. <br />ss <br />89 <br />90 <br />91 <br />92 <br />93 <br />94 <br />95 <br />96 <br />97 <br />98 <br />99 <br />100 <br />101 <br />6.4 Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties: When a property is <br />assigned Zoning and Comprehensive Plan land use designations, careful consideration is <br />given to protecting the value of surrounding properties. In light of this, and because the <br />proposed outdoor storage is among the uses that are allowed (conditionally or otherwise) <br />in the I-2 District and is consistent with the "industrial" designation of the <br />Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Division has determined that the proposed outdoor <br />storage use will not have a significant impact on the market value of the contiguous <br />industrial and business properties. <br />6.5 Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare: Planning Division staff has <br />determined that the proposed outdoor storage would have no discernable impact on the <br />general public health, safety, and welfare since the on-site activities (e.g., loading and <br />unloading of job-site vehicles, regular maintenance of vehicles and equipment, <br />dispatching, etc.) are very limited and of a somewhat similar nature to the activities on <br />the neighboring properties to the north. <br />� 0 6.6 Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan: Screened outdoor storage of <br />� o� materials and heavy equipment is a conditionally permitted use in the I-2 District and is <br />� 04 compatible with the industrial designation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />PF10-003 RCA 012510.doc <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
