(9) All lighting shall be designed to prevent any direct source of light being visible from <br />adjacent residential areas or from the public streets. <br />(10) The use or activity shall be properly drained to control surface water runoff. <br />(11) The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be <br />so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values <br />or constitute a blighting influence. <br />(12) The proposed water, sewer and other utilities shall be capable of accommodating the <br />proposed use. <br />(13) That the proposed use conforms to the comprehensive municipal plan. Such a finding <br />shall be based upon the following considerations: <br />a. That certain uses may not be considered appropriate within the interior of <br />residential neighborhoods because of noise, traffic, or other conditions that would <br />tend to affect adversely the residential character of the neighborhood and possibly <br />reduce property values. These uses are considered appropriate only on the <br />periphery of residential neighborhoods, or under such conditions as the planning <br />commission may deem proper. The uses may represent "buffer" uses for those areas <br />lying between single-family dwellings and nonresidential uses. <br />b. That certain uses are considered, as a rule, unsuitable in business districts because <br />of inherent business characteristics (e.g. traffic, noise, glare), proximity to <br />residential areas, the fact that they tend not to serve nearby residential areas, or <br />may adversely affect nearby permitted business uses. <br />c. That certain temporary uses that are generally not suitable within a particular <br />zoning district are potentially suitable on a temporary basis. This may be due to the <br />lack of development on existing property, to a short-term need (such as highway <br />construction), or to a limited degree of adverse effects upon adjacent land use. <br />(d) Exceptions. These standards shall be strictly applied unless it is found in the particular case <br />that the community safety, health and welfare can as well or better be served by modifying <br />them. Any special requirements applicable to the particular case that are imposed elsewhere <br />in this chapter shall be met in each case. <br />(e) Recommendations. When applications are reviewed by the planning commission but acted <br />upon by the city council, the planning commission shall recommend to the city council <br />whatever action it deems advisable, including all recommended conditions on the granting <br />of the conditional use permit. <br /> <br />(Code 1993, § 9-15.04(3)) <br /> <br />Sec. 113-86 - Action <br />In acting upon applications for conditional use permits, consideration shall be given to the <br />effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience and welfare of <br />the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including <br />parking facilities on adjacent sites. When applications are reviewed by the planning commission <br />but acted upon by the city council, the city council may hold whatever public hearings it deems <br />advisable or may return the application to the planning commission for further consideration. <br />(1) Approval. If it is determined that the general and special requirements of this chapter
