PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 9-15.04 <br />(13) That the proposed use conforms to the <br />comprehensive municipal plan. Such a finding shall be <br />based upon the following considerations: <br />(a) That certain uses may not be considered <br />appropriate within the interior of residential <br />neighborhoods because of noise, traffic, or other <br />conditions that would tend to affect adversely the <br />residential character of the neighborhood and <br />possible reduce property values. These uses are <br />considered appropriate only on the periphery of <br />residential neighborhoods, or under such <br />conditions as the Planning Commission may deem <br />proper. The uses may represent "buffer" uses for <br />those areas lying between single family dwellings <br />and non-residential uses. <br />(b) That certain uses are considered, as a rule, <br />unsuitable in Business Districts because of <br />inherent business characteristics (e.g. traffic, <br />noise, glare), proximity to residential areas, the <br />fact that they tend not to serve nearby <br />• residential areas, or may adversely affect nearby <br />permitted business uses. <br />(c) That certain uses are considered generally <br />unsuitable in Industrial Districts, because of <br />conditions that would tend to discourage other <br />industrial development in the vicinity. These <br />conditions include noise, vibrations, dust, glare, <br />unsightliness or similar nuisances. Certain other <br />industrial land uses are considered generally <br />inappropriate because they represent <br />under-utilization of land. This, in turn, means a <br />low tax return from land that under fuller <br />development would be contributing needed revenue <br />to the community~s tax base. Such uses, however, <br />may be considered as temporary uses. <br />(d) That certain temporary uses that are <br />generally not suitable within a particular zoning <br />district are potentially suitable on a temporary <br />basis. This may be due to the lack of development <br />on existing property, to a short-term need (such <br />as highway construction), or to a limited degree <br />of adverse effects, upon adjacent land use. <br />• These standards shall be strictly applied unless <br />it is found in the particular case that the <br />community safety, health and welfare can as well <br />127 <br />
