Prior to taking action to approve a special use permit or conditional use permit for any exotic animal(s), the reviewing authority shall find and justify that all of the following are true:
A. That the impacts which could result from the keeping of exotic animal(s), and the proposed location, size, design and operating characteristics of the animal and/or use, and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be considered to be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the community or be materially injurious to properties and/or improvements within the immediate vicinity or be contrary to the general plan;
B. Adequate safeguards have been established and will be maintained that effectively control all dangerous or vicious propensities of such animals;
C. That the proposed animal keeping will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the development code, and applicable town policies, except approved variances and state and federal requirements;
D. That the location of the animal keeping area and any proposed structures and improvements are compatible with the site's natural landform, surrounding sites, and structures.
E. That the proposed animal keeping will not create such an attractive nuisance by nature of its existence that it would draw undue attention to the activity by an increase in foot or vehicular traffic to the surrounding neighborhood or might entice the general public onto the property.
