General criteria for special permit uses.
A.
Following is a list of general criteria that shall be met for all special permit uses listed in Schedule A, Use Restrictions, and all special regulation uses set forth in § 235-7, in order to obtain approval by the Joint Planning Board.
(1)
The proposed special use shall not conflict, by virtue of its character, with uses in the district.

The proposed special use shall not cause undue noise, vibration, odors, traffic, lighting glare, interference with radio and television reception, or unsightliness so as to have a detrimental impact on adjacent and nearby properties.
(3)
Where such special use conflicts environmentally, visually and/or aesthetically with neighboring properties, the Joint Planning Board shall have the authority to require screening and/or buffering of sufficient height and density (i.e., planting, hedges, tree rows, ornamental fencing, etc.) to lessen or eliminate the impact of the conflict.
(4)
The proposed use shall meet all off-street parking and loading requirements set forth in § 235-7 for similar uses.
(5)
Appropriate on-site drainage shall be required to eliminate or to minimize any potential surface water runoff problems. The drainage system shall not produce any detrimental effect on adjacent properties or on the environment.
