STAFF COMMENTS:
Conditional use permits are granted by the Commission, subject to appropriate conditions
and safeguards, when the Commission finds:
A. That the proposed use meets all the. minimum standards established in the Zoning
Ordinance for this type of use;
B. That the proposed use is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning
ordinance and .the plan for physical development of the district as embodied in the
comprehensive plan for the development of the City;
C. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of
the surrounding neighborhood. or its occupants, .nor be substantially or permanently
injurious to neighboring property.
(See sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
The P.R.C. reviewed this project on March 2 and recommended approval of the site plan with the
condition that Northgate landscape requirements be met.
The site has been used in a manner similar to the one proposed for several years. The Flying
Tomato offered not only food and beer but also nightly entertainment. The net impact of use of
this site as proposed should be minimal.
