A. Building Site and Operational Plans. Where required: In the case of certain uses, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, the character of which could have substantial adverse impact on surrounding property values or public highway facilities by reason of the arrangement of structures and related uses on the land including the total appearance of said arrangement or by arrangement of access from public streets to off-street parking and loading facilities, or where specifically directed in this Chapter, it will be required as a qualifying condition to their permissibility to submit for approval by the Plan Commission their proposed building site and operational plans.
B. Use by Right Not Infringed: Such required approval under this Section shall be limited solely to reasonable compliance with design, locational and operational requirements and shall not involve the basic permissibility of the use where such use is permitted as a “permitted use”.

2. The relationship of structures and uses to each other and to the site, with particular consideration of traffic flow, access, screening of parking and storage areas and general appearance.
3. The character of the operation in terms of its impact upon traffic facilities, sewage disposal, water supply and environmental character with particular consideration of the control of any possible noise, dust, odor or other undesirable operating characteristic, including compliance with the Performance Standards of Section 35-250.
