(d) Conditional Uses. The Board shall have the power to hear and decide, in accordance with the provisions of this Code, requests or application for Conditional Uses.
(1) An application for a Conditional Use shall not be approved unless the following conditions and standards are complied with as set forth in the following districts:
A. Residential Districts
1. That the proposed use is properly located in relation to any adopted land use or street plan, particularly as to the collector and local street systems and pedestrian circulation;
2. That when located on a local street the proposed use will generate the least possible traffic through a residential neighborhood;
3. That the proposed use is necessary to serve the surrounding residential areas which cannot be served satisfactorily if the same use is located in a nearby less restrictive district where it may be permitted by right; and
4. That the location, design and operation of such use will not discourage the appropriate development or impair the value of the surrounding residential district.
B. Business, Office and Industrial Districts
1. That the proposed use is necessary to serve community needs and that existing similar facilities located in a less restrictive or more remote district, in which the use may be permitted by right, are inadequate;
2. That the proposed use is not closer than applicable regulations indicate in the particular situation to schools, churches and other places of assembly;
3. That the location, extent and intensity of the proposed use shall be such that its operation will not be more objectionable to nearby dwellings, by reason of noise, smoke, dust, odors, fumes, vibrations or glare, than is normal or is permitted by the performance standards of the district;
4. The proposed use will form a harmonious part of a business, office or industrial district, taking into account, convenience of access and the relationship of one use to another;
5. That the hours of operation and concentration of vehicles in connection with the proposed use will not be more hazardous or dangerous than the normal traffic of the district.
C. Safeguards and Conditions. In addition to complying with the general standards set forth in paragraphs A and B hereof, conditions appropriate to each particular application may also be set forth in approving a Conditional Use.
