PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 9-15.0, <br />• <br />• <br />(g) All lighting shall be designed to prevent any direct source of <br />light being visible from adjacent residential areas or from the <br />public streets. <br />(10) The use or activity shall be properly drained to control <br />surface water runoff . <br />(11) The architectural appearance and functional plan of the <br />building and site shall not be so dissimilar to thT~e evaluesgor <br />buildings or area as to cause impairment in grope y <br />constitute a blighting influence. <br />(12) The proposed water, sewer and other utilities shall be capable <br />of accommodating the proposed use. <br />/(13) That the proposed use conforms to the comprehensive municipal <br />plan. Such a f finding shall be based upon the following <br />considerations: <br />(a) That certain uses may not be considered appropriate <br />within the interior of residential neighborhoods because of <br />noise, traffic, or other conditions that would tend to affect <br />adversely the residential character of the neighborhood and <br />possible reduce property values. These uses are considered <br />appropriate only on the periphery of residential <br />neighborhoods, or under such conditions as the Planning <br />Commission may deem proper. The uses may represent "buffer" <br />uses for those areas lying between single family dwellings and <br />non-residential uses. <br />(b) That certain uses are considered, as a rule, unsuitable <br />in Business Districts because of inherent bus~roximity to <br />characteristics (e.g. traffic, noise, glare), p <br />residential areas, the fact that they tend not to serve nearby <br />residential areas, or may adversely affect nearby permitted <br />business uses. <br />(c) That certain uses are considered generally unsuitable in <br />Industrial Districts, because of conditions that would tend to <br />discourage other industrial development in the vicinity. <br />These conditions include noise, vibrations, dust, glare, <br />unsightliness or similar nuisances. Certain other industrial <br />land uses are considered generally inappropriate because they <br />represent under-utilization of land. This, in turn, means a <br />low tax return Prom land that under fuller development would <br />be contributing needed revenue to the community's tax base. <br />Such uses, however, may be considered as temporary uses. <br />r <br />
