If the hazardous materials or processes cause a nuisance for nearby properties, the Planning Commission may require an abatement plan to be submitted by the business for review and approval by the Commission if approved abatement plan is not followed by the business, the Town Council may suspend the business's license until the business comes into compliance with the abatement plan. In the event Torrey Town undertakes clean up or abatement of the effects of hazardous materials, the business license holder will reimburse all costs to Torrey Town and/or other entities involved in the mitigation. (Ord. 4-21-001, 4-8-2021)

10-5-7: STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USE DECISIONS:

Conditional uses are those uses which are generally compatible with the permitted uses in a zoning district, but which, because of their size, scale, intensity of use, traffic generation, or other characteristics, require individual review of their location, design and configuration and the imposition of conditions in order to ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location within a given zoning district. When making decisions on conditional use permit applications submitted to it, the Planning Commission may consider all reasonable standards applicable to the building, structure, or use, which mitigate the anticipated detrimental effects of the proposed use, building, or structure. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
   A.   The size, configuration, and location of the site, and proposed site plan layout;
   B.   The proposed site ingress and egress to existing and proposed roads and streets;
   C.   The provision of public facilities and amenities, including, but not limited to, roads and streets, water, sewer, storm drainage, public safety, fire protection, and other utilities;
   D.   The location and amount of off-street parking and loading areas;
   E.   The site's circulation pattern for vehicular and pedestrian traffic;
   F.   The building's size, location, design;
   G.   The design of all site features, including proposed signage, lighting (with recommendations from the International Dark Sky Association), and refuse collection;
   H.   The provision of usable open space, public features, and amenities;
   I.   The provision of public access;
   J.   The measures directed at minimizing or eliminating possible nuisance and safety factors, including, but not limited to, noise, vibrations, smoke, dust, dirt, odors, gases, noxious matter, heat, glare, electromagnetic disturbances, and radiation;
   K.   The measures designed to protect the natural features of the site, drainage ways, protection of views, grade changes, iconic structures or vegetation, and other natural site features;
   L.   The regulation of operating hours for all possible activities;
   M.   The identification of a period for regular review and monitoring to ensure the use continues to operate in compliance with all conditions, and requirements of its approval; and
   N.   Such other conditions deemed reasonable by the Planning Commission to allow the operation of the use in compliance with the requirements of this land ordinance and consistency with the General Plan. (Ord. 4-21-001, 4-8-2021)
