The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall review and evaluate Conditional Use Permit applications using the following criteria:

Conformance with applicable regulations and standards established by the Zoning Regulations.

Compatibility with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, in terms of building height, bulk and scale, setbacks and open spaces, landscaping and site development, access and circulation features.

Potentially unfavorable affects or impacts on other existing or permitted uses on abutting sites, to the extent such impacts exceed those which reasonably may result from use of the site for a permitted use.

Modifications (including variance from property development regulations) to the site plan which would result in increased compatibility, would mitigate potentially unfavorable impacts, would be necessary to conform to applicable regulations and standards and would protect the public health, safety, morals and general welfare.

Safety and convenience of vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonable and anticipated in the area; existing zoning and land uses in the area.

Protection of persons and property from erosion, flood or water damage, fire, noise, glare and similar hazards and impacts.

Location, lighting, and type of signs; the relation of signs to traffic control and adverse effect of signs on adjacent properties.

Adequacy and convenience of off-street parking and loading facilities.

Determination that the proposed use is in accordance with the objectives of these Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.

Determination that the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of these Zoning Regulations.

Determination that the proposed use and site development, together with any modifications applicable thereto, will be compatible with existing or permitted uses in the vicinity.

Determination that any conditions applicable to approval are the minimum necessary to minimize potentially unfavorable impacts on nearby uses and to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with existing or permitted uses in the same district and the surrounding area.

Determination that the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
