18.60.040 Staff review.
A. The land use administrator shall review the conditional use permit application and the accompanying site plan permit application for completeness and request any additional material required. Upon determining that the application is complete, the land use administrator shall prepare a staff report with analysis and recommendations. The report shall specifically address drainage on the parcel. The land use administrator may recommend any conditions reasonably necessary for the proposed use to permit the conclusions required under subsection B of this section. The written staff report containing the analysis, proposed conditions and conclusions shall be provided to the planning commission with their meeting materials one (1) week prior to the public hearing.
B. The land use administrator may make a recommendation for approval only when the proposed use and conditions clearly support the following conclusions:
1. The proposed conditional use will not be detrimental to the general public health, safety or welfare or to the environment;
2. The conditional use meets the standards otherwise applicable to a use in the applicable land use district;
3. There are adequate existing or proposed sewage capacity, transportation facilities, parking area, drainage facilities and water supply to serve the proposed conditional use without causing a substantial negative impact on the existing level of services provided by such public facilities;
4. The conditional use conforms to the intent and purposes of the land use code that are set out in BMC 16.04.010;
5. The use and structures proposed are of an appropriate character and scale for the neighborhood in which the project will be located, including parts of the neighborhood that may lie outside the land use district within which the parcel is located;
6. The conditional use is in accordance with and furthers the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan;
7. The proposed use will not subject surrounding properties nor vehicles and pedestrians using nearby streets and ways to hazardous or substantially increased traffic conditions;
8. There is a demonstrated need for the conditional use limited primarily to the area proposed, or, if the use will generally serve a larger area, then a demonstration that the use is essential to the city generally, and because of a feature of the property, the general need can be met by the property, but cannot be met as a principal permitted use on other property in the city;
9. The use, under the conditions proposed, will be compatible with existing and principal uses authorized and will not cause negative impacts on nearby property, including impacts from drainage, that exceed the impacts that would ordinarily be expected from principal permitted uses of the property that is the subject of the application;
10. If any part of the project is located in a flood hazard area or in an area where the project may adversely affect drainage or floods in a flood hazard area, the conditions proposed adequately address the relevant matters and standards covered by BMC 15.08.160 through 15.08.180. [Ord. 01-05 § 8.]
