Section 1 Findings Section 2, Subdivision 1of the Zoning Ordinance requires consideration of possible adverse effects of a proposed zoning amendment and that the judgment of a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed addition of Batch Plants as an interim use in the Light Industrial, General Industrial, Rural Business Reserve, Rural Executive and Rural zoning districts will allow the use temporarily for the development of roadways to and within the city. The use will require an Interim Use Permit, which means the use is temporary in nature and is therefore not inconsistent with the long term goals of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future and uses of the area. As a Batch Plant is temporary in nature this use will not cause compatibility issues with future land uses in the city. An Interim Use Permit will be required and will allow the City Council to review the specifics of each site and add conditions necessary to address potential negative impacts. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. This ordinance establishes performance standards for the uses known as Batch Plants.
