17-3948 July 17, 2017 Page 6 of 7 Conservation Design While the property is technically subject to the City's Conservation Design Ordinance, it is suggested that due to the small size and open nature of the property, a Conservation Design Inventory and Master Plan is unnecessary; Planning Commission should address this topic in its discussion. Archaeological Site Proximity Staff is unaware of any archaeological sites within the property; the applicant should contact the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to confirm. Conditional Use Permit Applicable Regulation: Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-916) The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: 1) Consistent with the community management plan; The Community Management plan maps the site for office use. The Commission is considering an amendment to the Community Management Plan, if approved the use would be consistent. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; The proposed rezoning to RPUD would allow for consistency with use regulations. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; The property was laid out to accommodate an office use. 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; The property is served by municipal water and sanitary sewer 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; No additional public service costs associated with the proposed use are anticipated. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; The adjoining properties to the north are high density residential; to the south and west are commercial. To the east across a stormwater pond is vacant, commercial land. The proposed quasi commercial residential use appears to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; An amendment to the Community Management Plan would allow the proposed use. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The existing building has both commercial and residential characteristics and its location and design make it compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial uses. 8) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; No evidence has been presented to suggest otherwise. 9) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; Adhering to the RPUD landscaping requirements will provide for adequate screening. 10) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; No evidence has been presented to suggest otherwise.
