   (E)   Required conditional use permit findings.

      (1)   The Planning Commission shall approve a conditional use permit for an adult business if the Commission is able to make affirmative findings based on all of the following criteria:

      (1)   Would substantially interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of surrounding or adjacent properties;

      (2)   Would be substantially and materially incompatible with the natural environment and beauty of surrounding property;

      (3)   Would deter an orderly and attractive development of the community in general, and surrounding properties in particular;

      (4)   Would otherwise adversely affect the public peace, safety or general economic welfare; or

      (5)   Would not materially comply with the provisions of this section.
