supportive of principles, goals, objectives, land use designations, redevelopment plans,
neighborhood objectives, and implementation strategies of the comprehensive plan.
Whereas, the use is not detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community as a whole. It will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of
properties, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, parking facilities on adjacent streets, and
values of properties in close proximity to the conditional use.
Whereas, the use is consistent with the regulations, intent and purpose of city code and
the zoning district in which the conditional use is located. The proposed plan with conditions of
