Comply with the objectives and purposes of the zoning district; Staff response: This application complies with the objectives and purposes of the zoning district. The amenity center is proposed to serve the immediate neighborhood. 3. Have building height, bulk, scale, setback, open space, landscaping, drainage, access, traffic circulation, and use that are compatible with the use of an abutting site; Staff response: Yes, the proposed site calculations are below what is permitted with the zoning of the site. 4. Provide adequate and convenient off-street parking and loading facilities; Staff response: Adequate parking and loading facilities have been provided off-site. 5. Reasonably protect persons and property from erosion, flood, fire, noises, glare, and similar adverse effects; Staff response: The proposed project does not contribute to any of the listed adverse effects. A Conditional Use Site Plan May Not: 1. More adversely affect an adjoining site than would a permitted use; Staff response: The proposed site plan does not appear to more adversely affect an adjoining site than would a permitted use. 2. Adversely affect the safety or convenience of vehicular or pedestrian circulation, including reasonably anticipated traffic and uses in the area; Staff response: The amenity center is not anticipated to negatively impact pedestrian or vehicular circulation. 3. Adversely affects an adjacent property or traffic control through the location, lighting, or type of signs; Staff response: The site will comply with all applicable sign regulations in the Land Development Code. 2 of 6B-3 COMMISSION ACTION: The Commission may either; approve, approve with conditions or deny the conditional use site plan permit. To make a determination required for approval under Section 25-5-145 (Evaluation of Conditional Use Site Plan), the Land Use Commission may require that a conditional use site plan comply with a condition of approval that includes a requirement for: 1) A special yard, open space, buffer, fence, wall, or screen; 2) Landscaping or erosion; 3) A street improvement or dedication, vehicular ingress and egress, or traffic circulation; 4) Signs; 5) Characteristics of operation, including hours; 6) A development schedule; or 7) Other measures that the Land Use Commission determines are required for compatibility with surrounding uses or the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare. SUMMARY COMMENTS ON SITE PLAN: Land Use: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an amenity center (Community Recreation (Private)). The site is currently undeveloped and has single family housing being constructed around the site. The parking requirements for this use will be achieved through 17 on-site parking spaces. The site is not subject to a TIA. ATD has reviewed the change in land use proposed with this CUP and has no further requirement for analysis or mitigation. A consolidated site plan permit for the associated improvements is being sought which this conditional use permit would permit if approved. The site plan complies with all requirements of the Land Development Code.
