Certain uses are considered as conditional because of the potential harmful effects the use can
cause to nearby property and because the requirements needed to eliminate those harmful effects

request, will review the overall compatibility of the planned use with surrounding property as
well as such specific items as screening, parking and landscaping to make sure that no harmful
effects occur to nearby property.
Development Standards and Review Guidelines. [Article VI, Section 4, (e)J
The following development standards and design specifications shall be the basis for approval of
a conditional use:
(1) The design, location and operating plans shall be such that the safety of the public is
protected.
(2) The proposed land use will not adversely affect nearby property.
(3) The size and shape of the site and the size, shape and arrangement of structures meet the
minimum requirements of this ordinance.
(4) The entrances and exits, internal street system, off-street parking, loading facilities and
pedestrian walks are adequate for the purpose proposed.
(5) Nearby property shall be protected from excess fumes, lighting, noise, glare, dust and odor.
(6) Necessary landscaping and screening required to meet the intent of this ordinance shall be
provided.
(7) Open space shall be maintained by the owner.
