A conditional use listed in this title shall be permitted, altered, or denied in accordance with the standards and procedures of this chapter. In the case of a use existing prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title as a conditional use, a change in the use, or reduction in lot area, or an alteration of the structure, shall require the prior issuance of a conditional use permit. In judging whether or not a conditional use permit shall be approved or denied, the Planning Commission shall weigh the proposal's positive and negative features that would result from authorizing the particular development at the location proposed and to approve such use, shall find that the following criteria are either met, can be met by observance of conditions, or are not applicable.
A. The proposal will be consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the requirements of this title and other applicable policies of the city;
B. The characteristics of the site are suitable for the proposed use considering size, shape, design, location, topography, existence of improvements and natural features;
C. All required public facilities and services exist to adequately meet the needs of the proposed development;
D. The proposed use will not alter the character of the surrounding areas in a manner which substantially limits, or precludes the use of surrounding properties for the uses listed as permitted in the zone. (Ord. 740 section 10.3.75 (A), 1984)
