(1) That the proposed use is consistent with the city's land use plan;
(2) That the proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comforts, or general welfare;
(3) That the proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the uses already permitted, or substantially reduce the value of neighboring property;
(4) That the proposed use will not impede orderly growth, development and improvement of surrounding properties for those uses permitted in the zoning district;
(5) That the proposed use is provided, or will be provided, with adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and necessary facilities.
