Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet A special use permit cannot be approved unless the Planning Commission and City Council find that the following criteria have been met. Please provide a response on how/why your project meets the below stated criteria. Use additional sheets if necessary and consult with the Planning Director at the time of your Pre-Application Meeting as some items may not be applicable for your project. 1) That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. Pike Lake Education Center is an existing school facility that is a specially permitted use within the City of New Brighton. The proposed building addition will be constructed to meet the district’s future enrollment needs. The building addition and surrounding site improvements will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or welfare of the community. 2) 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, not substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The proposed building addition has been designed to match the materials of the existing building. With this building addition, the adjacent residences and neighborhood will not see impairment to their property values. 3) 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. The surrounding properties adjacent to Pike Lake Education Center are fully developed residential neighborhoods. The proposed building addition should not have any effect on the development and improvement of the surrounding property. 4) That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. The existing Pike Lake Education Center building is approximately 82,144 square feet. The proposed, two classroom, building addition will be 3,022 square feet and be located on the south side of the school. The change to site access, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities will be insignificant. 5) That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. As mentioned, Pike Lake Education Center is an existing facility that conforms to the applicable regulations within the city. The proposed building addition project will not alter or modify the facility’s current use.
