In the multiple-family residential districts, M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5, M-6, M-7 and M-8, conditional use permits may be issued in accord with the following:
(A) Purpose. Certain uses can be unsuitable in multiple-family residential districts because of inherent characteristics (such as traffic, noise, appearance, glare), commercial character or other conditions that would tend to adversely affect the residential character of the area and reduce property values. Nevertheless, those uses, under certain circumstances, may not be detrimental provided they are properly located and developed.
(B) Criteria. No conditional use permits shall be granted in a multiple-family residential district unless the City Council shall find that:
(1) The proposed use will not cause a traffic hazard or congestion;
(2) Adjacent residential areas will not be adversely affected because of traffic generation, noise, glare, appearance or other nuisance characteristics;
(3) Nuisances generated by the use will not have an adverse effect upon existing and/or future development of adjacent areas. When permits are granted, they shall be periodically reviewed to ensure continued compliance with this requirement; and
(4) The use is consistent with other uses and the purpose for the multiple-residential district in which it is located.
