§ 331-89. General standards.

All special permit uses shall comply with the following standards in addition to all other requirements of this chapter. The approving agency shall attach such additional conditions and safeguards to any special permit as are, in its opinion, necessary to insure initial and continual conformance to all applicable standards and requirements of this or other applicable codes.

A. 

The location and size of the special permit use, the nature and intensity of the operations involved in or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it are such that it will be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the area in which it is located.

B. 

The location, nature and height of buildings, walls and fences and the nature and extent of existing or proposed plantings on the site are such that the special permit use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings.

C. 

Operations in connection with any special permit use will not be more objectionable to nearby properties by reason of noise, traffic, fumes, vibration or other such characteristics than would be the operations of permitted uses not requiring a special permit.

D. 

The Department of Development shall render an advisory opinion to the approving agency, on the request of such agency, with respect to traffic, planning and other factors relating to an application for a use allowed by special permit in this zoned district or any less restrictive zoned district.
