Criteria

Section 656.101(i), Ordinance Code, defines an exception as “a use that would not be appropriate generally or without restriction throughout the zoning district but which, if controlled as to the number, area, location or relation to the neighborhood, could promote the public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, prosperity or general welfare.”

Section 656.131(c), Ordinance Code, provides that, with respect to action upon Applications for Zoning Exceptions, the Planning Commission may grant the exception if it finds from a preponderance of the evidence of record presented at the public hearing that the proposed use meets, to the extent applicable, the following standards and criteria:

(i) Will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, including any subsequent plan adopted by the Council pursuant thereto.

(ii) Will be compatible with the existing contiguous uses or zoning and compatible with the general character of the area considering population, density, design, scale, and orientation of the structures to the area, property values and existing similar uses.

(iii) Will not have an environmental impact inconsistent with the health, safety and welfare of the community.

(iv) Will not have a detrimental effect on vehicular or pedestrian traffic or parking conditions, and will not result in the generation or creation of traffic inconsistent with health, safety and welfare of the community.

(v) Will not have a detrimental effect on the future development of contiguous properties or the general area, according to the Comprehensive Plan, including any subsequent plan adopted by the Council pursuant thereto.

(vi) Will not result in the creation of objectionable or excessive noise, lights, vibrations, fumes, odors, dust or physical activities taking into account existing uses or zoning in the vicinity.

(vii) Will not overburden existing public services and facilities.

(viii) Will be sufficiently accessible to permit entry onto the property by fire, police, rescue and other services.

(ix) Will be consistent with the definition of an exception, the standards and criteria of the zoning classification in which such use is proposed to be located and all other requirements for such particular use set for elsewhere in the Zoning Code (Chapter 656, Ordinance Code) or as otherwise adopted by the Planning Commission.
