Alma City Zoning Code
§ 6
Special uses.
After public hearing and proper notice, and after recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council may authorize the issuance of special use permits when the Council finds all of the following conditions present:
(1)
That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be materially detrimental to, or endanger, the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare;
(2)
That the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood, for purposes already permitted, shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use;
(3)
That the establishment of the special use will not significantly impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district;
(4)
That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been or are being provided;
(5)
That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress, so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; and
(6)
That the special use shall conform to all applicable yard area regulations of the district in which it is located.
Prior to the granting of any special use, the City Council may stipulate such conditions, restrictions, and duration upon the establishment, location, construction, maintenance, and operation of the special use as deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the community, and to secure compliance with the standards and requirements specified in subsections (1) through (6) of Section 6. In all cases in which special uses are granted, the Council shall require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection therewith are being and will be complied with. The granting of a special use does not create a right to the use and the special use may be canceled at the City Council's sole discretion. No application for a special use that has been denied wholly or in part by the City Council shall be resubmitted for a period of six (6) months from the date of said denial. |
