The Town Plan Commission may approve the site plan and plan
of operations only after determining that:
A. The proposed use(s) conform(s) to the uses allowed in the applicable
zoning district.
[Amended 4-12-2021 by Ord. No. 3-2021]
B. The dimensional arrangement of buildings and structures conforms
to the required density, area, height and yard requirements of the
applicable zoning district.
C. The proposed use(s) conform(s) to all use and design provisions and
requirements (if any) as found in the applicable zoning district and
this chapter for the specified use(s).
D. The relationship between the existing and proposed streets within
the vicinity of the project assures the safety and convenience of
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
E. The proposed buildings, structures, and entryways are situated and
designed to minimize adverse effects upon owners and occupants of
adjacent and surrounding properties. This is done by providing for
adequate design of ingress/egress, interior/exterior traffic flow,
stormwater drainage, erosion, grading, lighting, and parking, as specified
by this chapter or any other codes or laws.
F. Natural features of the landscape are retained where they can enhance
the development on the site or where they furnish a barrier or buffer
between the project and adjoining properties used for dissimilar purposes
or where they assist in preserving the general safety, health, welfare,
and appearance of the neighborhood.
G. Adverse effects of the proposed development and activities upon adjoining
residents or owners are minimized by appropriate screening, fencing,
or landscaping, as provided or required in this chapter.
H. Lands, buildings, and structures are readily accessible to emergency
vehicles and the handicapped (when applicable).
I. The site plan and plan of operation is consistent with the intent
and purpose of the applicable zoning district and this chapter.
