620.040 Review Criteria.
Requests for Conditional Uses will be approved if the review body finds that the applicant has shown that all of the following criteria have been met, either outright, or with conditions that bring the proposal into compliance:
A. The use is listed as a conditional use in the base zone or is approved by the Planning Commission for consideration as a conditional use.
B. The proposed use will be compatible with existing or anticipated uses in terms of size, building scale and style, intensity, setbacks, and landscaping or the proposal calls for mitigation of difference in appearance or scale through such means as setbacks, screening, landscaping or other design features.
C. The proposed use will not alter the character of the surrounding area in a manner which substantially limits, impairs, or precludes the use of surrounding properties for the primary uses in the zone.
D. The transportation system is capable of supporting the proposed use in addition to the existing uses in the area and will not significantly affect a transportation facility. Evaluation factors include street capacity and level of service, on-street parking impacts, access requirements, neighborhood impacts and pedestrian safety.
“Significantly” affect the transportation facility means the proposal would:
(1) As measured at the end of the Wood Village TSP planning period or 15 years, whichever is greater, the proposal would result in levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; or
(2) Reduce the performance of an existing of planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Oregon Highway Plan, Wood Village TSP or Comprehensive Plan, as applicable; or
(3) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance standard in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Oregon Highway Plan, Wood Village TSP or Comprehensive Plan, as applicable.
If it is determined that a proposed land use significantly affects a transportation facility, the applicant shall assure that the allowed uses are consistent with the function, capacity and level of service of the facility by one of the following methods:
(a) Alter land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes of transportation; or
(b) Provide measures demonstrating that the use can be consistent with the planned function of the transportation facility, or provide other measures as a condition of development through a development agreement or similar method, specifying when such measures will be provided.
E. Public service for water, sanitary and storm sewer, water management and for fire and police protection are capable of servicing the proposed use.
F. The proposal will not have significant adverse impact on the livability of nearby residentially zoned lands due to:
(1) Noise, glare, odor, litter, and hours of operation.
(2) Privacy and safety issues.
G. Conditional Uses which fall within the Waste Related Use Category (See Section 710.330) must also meet the criteria defined in the Mitigation Agreement for Siting Solid Waste Facilities between Metro and the City.
