AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland DATE: 5/5/98 TOPIC: Lakeland National Bank, Lake Drive and Apollo, Conditional Use Permit to allow accessory drive- through BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Board and Council have approved a site plan review for the Lakeland National Bank which is to be located on the north /west comer of Lake Drive and Apollo (extended). This bank building is located in a General Business Zoning District which requires a conditional use permit for any accessory drive- through facility. As you will recall, a condition of site plan approval for the bank building was either the approval of a conditional use permit or a revision to the section of the ordinance requiring the cup. The P & Z determined that they were not interested in amending the ordinance and preferred the control offered by the cup process when reviewing drive - through facilities for any use in this zoning district. Therefore, we have published this public hearing, notified adjoining property owners and prepared this report. According to the requirements of the ordinance, the P & Z shall consider the following in review of a conditional use permit: A. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. B. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. C. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and /or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area D. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. E. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. F. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, material, 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. G. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are so designed as not to create traffic congestion or an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares.
