The Planning Commission shall refer its recommendation with such exceptions or modifications as it deems necessary to Council. The Commission when reviewing an application for the permit authorized under Section 927.02 hereof, shall review the particular facts and circumstances of the proposed well in terms of the following standards, and if in its judgment favorable action is appropriate on the application, shall find adequate evidence that such well:
(a) Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives of the City's land use scheme and requirements of this chapter;
(b) Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity.
(c) Will not be hazardous or unreasonably disturbing to existing or future residents or uses;
(d) Will not be detrimental to residents or property in the immediate vicinity or to the community as a whole;
(e) Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures and refuse disposal; or the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such service; and
(f) Will have adequate vehicular access to the property so as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets or roads.
Council shall thereafter authorize the issuance of the permit or reject such application where, by reason of public health, safety and general welfare, the drilling or operation of methane gas wells will constitute a serious disadvantage to the City or any of its inhabitants. Should Council authorize the issuance of a permit pursuant to Section 927.02 hereof, the Building Commissioner shall issue the permit within ten days thereof.
