Page 4 STAFF COMMENTS Special Use Permit As specified in Section 8-130 of the New Brighton Zoning Ordinance,no special use shall be recommended by the Planning Commission unless such shall find: a. That the establishment,maintenance,or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,morals, comfort of the general public. b. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted,nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. c. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. d. That adequate utilities,access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. e. That the special use shall, in all other respects,conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it located. The reduced setback area is adjacent to the I-35W right-of-way,and will have no impact on the adjacent on ramp. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health and safety,and will not negatively effect property values in the area, as long as the noise from the car wash is controlled. This site will be served by existing utilities,and as demonstrated above,will comply with all applicable zoning code requirements. Canopy lighting Additionally, Section 8-010 a.6. of the New Brighton Zoning Ordinance requires exterior lighting to be installed so as to prevent direct light from being detectable at the lot line of the site on which the light source is located. Therefore, given the proximity of the canopy to the adjacent residential homes to the east across County Road E2, the canopy lighting must be recessed into the canopy, so as not to be visible from the adjacent property. Car Wash Doors The proposed car wash exist faces the north,which as mentioned is a single family residential area. The machinery from car washes tend to be very noisy. Therefore, in an effort to prevent the noise from disturbing the adjacent residential landowners,the car wash exit door must be closed during the operation of the car wash,and may not be opened until all car wash machinery,especially the blowers, are turned off. Signage No signage has been proposed at this time. All signage shall be required to meet the provisions of the Sign Ordinance Sections 9-010 through 9-180.
