Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. With the conditions of the contract, there will be a reduction of land use incompatibilities. i. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. No such features will be affected. Specific conditions for outdoor sales lots: The zoning ordinance allows outdoor sales lots as a conditional use in the General Business zoning district (Section 7, Subdivision 3.11.9. ). The conditions are: 9. Outdoor sales lots (not outdoor storage) provided that: a. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.Q of this Ordinance. An existing fence provides good screening. b. Outside services and sales are associated with a principal building of at least one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area. The building is approximately 22,700 sf. c. The entire sales lot and off - street parking area is paved. The lot area is not paved, but has been driven over for so long it is impervious. If this were a new development, the lot would need to be paved. However, since the site has existed for several decades and the proposed use will reduce incompatibility with the surrounding uses, paving is not necessary. d. For motor vehicle sales activities, a minimum of three hundred eighty (380) square feet of sales area per vehicle is provided. The outdoor, fenced lot is approximately 4.5 acres. At 380 sf per vehicle, this would allow for over 500 vehicles. This likely is more than will be present.
