City Code § 154.106(A) defines a "Conditional Use" as "land use or development as defined by ordinance that would not be appropriate generally but may be allowed with appropriate restrictions as provided by official controls only" after the Applicant meets their burden to prove conformity with that section and the City makes specific findings required by that section, which include: 2. The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan.... 7. The proposed use will not be hazardous or create a nuisance as defined under this Chapter to existing or future neighboring structures. 8. The proposed use 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 adequately served by such facilities and services provided by persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. 9. The proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. J.
