(k) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress designed to minimize traffic congestion on the surrounding public streets.
(l) The establishment of the conditional use should not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community by creating excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities such as police, fire and schools.
