Kwik Trip – 159th Street Page 6 The property is adjacent to and is accessible from 159th Street, which is designated as a Minor Collector in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The property can be adequately served with the accesses proposed. The property is served by city sewer and water. 4. The proposed zoning classification will not have unreasonable negative impacts on neighboring properties The property is immediately adjacent to commercially-zoned property, and across 159th Street from residentially-zoned property. The proposed zoning classification will buffer noncompatible uses with the street between them, thus minimizing the impact on neighboring properties. The access is proposed on 159th Street which is classified as a Minor Collector road in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 159th Street is designed to accommodate and has the capacity for additional traffic. The proposed zoning will not have unreasonable negative impacts on the neighboring properties. 5. The floodplain designation on the official zoning map shall not be removed from floodplain areas unless it can be shown that the designation is in error or that the area has been filled to or above the elevation of the regulatory flood protection elevation and is contiguous to lands outside the floodplain. No floodplain areas are proposed to be impacted with the project. It is in staff’s opinion that all of the necessary requirements for approval of a zoning amendment are met.

The Planning Commission must review the application for a conditional use permit with the standards provided in Section 90-37 of the City Code. Staff used these standards to review the application and found that the request meets all applicable standards as follows: 1. The proposed use is permissible by law. The proposed uses are allowed by conditional use permit. 2. The proposed use is keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The proposed uses are allowed in the C-2 zoning district with a CUP, and will keep with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The carwash and 24-hour operation are conditional uses since they have the potential to generate a greater impact on any adjacent noncompatible uses. 159th Street creates an adequate buffer between the proposed commercial site and the residential
