§ 65.285. Standards of Review for Conditional Use Permit Applications.

In their review and consideration of conditional use permit applications, the Municipal Planning Board and the City Council must consider the following factors:

Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent and all other requirements of the Land Development Code.

Growth Management Plan. Whether the proposal is consistent with all applicable policies of the City's adopted Growth Management Plan.

Compatibility. The compatibility of the proposal with surrounding land uses and the general character of the area including such factors as height, bulk, scale, intensity, traffic, noise, drainage, dust, lighting, and appearance.

Public Facilities and Services. Whether necessary public facilities (both on-site and off-site), such as transportation, sanitation, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, and recreation, will be adequate to serve the proposed use.

Residential Displacement. For public benefit uses, the Municipal Planning Board and the City Council must consider the extent to which the proposed use, location, and building site design would displace existing residential uses on the site or would encourage displacement of residential uses adjacent to the site. They must also consider alternative uses, location, and site designs that could minimize residential displacement.

Other Matters. Any other lawful matter that the Municipal Planning Board deems appropriate and relevant to the specific proposal.
