1. B.

    The proposed building or use will not adversely affect or change the character of the area in which it is located.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • As previously mentioned, what is being proposed is compatible with both the character of this lot and what exists in the surrounding neighborhoods.
  2. C.

    That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • There is nothing to suggest that public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare will be at risk since the proposed use of the land is consistent with surrounding homes in the immediate area.
  3. D.

    That the proposed use will not be injurious to the reasonable use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, or substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • There is nothing to suggest that the proposed use will be injurious to the reasonable use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
  4. E.

    The proposed use at the specified location will not significantly adversely affect the use and development of adjacent and nearby properties in accordance with the regulations of the district in which they are located. The location, size and height of proposed buildings and other structures, and the operation of the use will not significantly adversely affect the use and development or hinder the appropriate development of adjacent and nearby properties.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • Because this use will be solely located within the Amburgey property, the secondary detached garage will have no impact on future development or improvements to other residential lots in this immediate area.
  5. F.

    That the exterior architectural appeal and functional plan of any proposed structure will not be so at variance with either the exterior architectural appeal and functional plan of the structures already constructed or in the course of construction in the immediate neighborhood, or the character of the applicable district as to cause a substantial depreciation in the property values within the neighborhood.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • What is being proposed is not unprecedented for larger homes and lots located within this area and appears to fit the existing character of this zoning district.
  6. G.

    That adequate utilities, access roads, off-street parking and loading facilities, drainage and/or other necessary facilities, have been or are being provided at the applicant’s cost.

    PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS:
    • All costs associated with this special use request will be borne solely by the applicants.
  7. H.

    That adequate measures have been or will be taken at applicant’s cost to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets and avoid hazards to pedestrian traffic.
