SPECIFIC USE PERMITS: When acting on a request for a specific use permit, the following factors should be considered:
• Compatibility with adjacent and neighboring land uses in the immediate area
• Adaptability of building structures to the proposed use
• Infrastructure requirements: roads, sidewalks, access to public streets, parking, and drainage
• Elements such as screening, open space, building heights, and compatibility of existing buildings to the proposed use
Staff has evaluated the request based on the above mentioned parameters and feels that the site is appropriate for the proposed use and is compatible with existing land uses of the adjacent properties. The proposed use is in a structure that is 5,071 square feet and is a compatible scale for a neighborhood retail district. The proposed location is in a newly constructed retail shell building and the site meets current development standards. The proposed location is on the corner of a collector street and an arterial roadway and the site has been developed to account for any potential traffic for similar retail uses. Given the scale and location of the proposed grocery store, staff is in support of the specific use permit.
SITE LAYOUT: The attached exhibit provides a general layout of the proposed building as well as the associated parking and internal site circulation. The site circulation, parking, and sanitation requirements are in general conformance with the Zoning Ordinance.
