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 fmd that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be:
1) Consistent with the community management plan; The community management plan
suggests industrial uses in this part of Orono.
2) Compliant with the zoning code,including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V,division 3 of the City Code; "Trucking,but not distribution centers"
is a listed conditional use in the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council feels the bus garage
is appropriate use of land in the Industrial zoning district and consistent with the zoning
code.
3) Adequately served by police,fire,roads,and stormwater management; The site is on a
county road with capacity for the designed traffic. During peak hours,based on
empirical experience,full maneuverability may be problematic,delaying left turns onto
Wayzata Blvd.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; The site is served by
municipal water and sanitary sewer.Bus washing is mentioned in the write up,but not
shown on the plan. If bus washing is to occur in a dedicated space,i.e. a wash-bay it
should be shown on a site plan,and may impact effluent draining and applicable SAC
units for the property.
5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; The use is not
expected to require additional policing,traffic control,or staffing from the city.
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 neighborhood has been developed; the proposed use is not
expected to impact adjacent uses.The surrounding properties are well maintained,
present a professional appearance,and storage areas are screened from view.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area,unless a change of character is called for
in the community management plan; The Planning Commission should determine if a fuel
island and exterior bus storage is consistent with the character of the neighborhood.

Staff suggests that a berm/screen plan be developed to shield the buses from the road,
and the fuel island be located to the rear or side of the building.
8) 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 Council
has determined that the proposed use of the exterior spaces is consistent with the
surrounding area.
9) 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.
10)Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities
likely to disturb surrounding uses; A screening plan has not yet been developed but is listed
in the required conditions.
11)Not create a nuisance which generates smoke,noise,glare,vibration,odors,fumes, dust,
electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; The bus storage and garage is
not expected to create nuisances as listed. Minor repair is to occur indoors.
12)Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets,parking needs that cause a
demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties,traffic congestion,or unsafe access; The
site is sized to accommodate anticipated parldng requirements.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic,and historic features of the area and to
minimize environmental impact; Not applicable.
14)All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-
of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; No additional lighting is proposed and

criteria to be met.
A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally,a CUP

in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of
conditional uses.
