Before issuing a decision for a special use permit, the Village
Board shall make specific written findings that the proposed use:
A. Will be generally consistent with the goals of the Village Comprehensive
Plan;
B. Will meet all relevant criteria set forth in this chapter;
C. Will be compatible with existing uses adjacent to and near the property;
D. Will not create a hazard to health, safety or the general welfare
of the public;
E. Will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood nor be
detrimental to the neighborhood residents;
F. Will not be a nuisance to neighboring land uses in terms of the production
of obnoxious or objectionable noise, dust, glare, odor, refuse, fumes,
vibrations, unsightliness, contamination or other similar conditions;
G. Will not cause undue harm to or destroy existing sensitive natural
features on the site or in the surrounding area or cause adverse environmental
impacts such as significant erosion and/or sedimentation, slope destruction,
flooding or ponding of water, or degradation of water quality;
H. Will not destroy or adversely impact significant historic and/or
cultural resource sites;
I. Will provide adequate landscaping, screening or buffering between
adjacent uses which are incompatible with the proposed project; and
J. Will not otherwise be detrimental to the public convenience and welfare.
The Village Board may impose conditions on or require modifications
of the premises benefited by a special use permit as may be necessary
to prevent or minimize adverse effects upon other property in the
neighborhood, including limitations on the time for which the permit
is granted. Such conditions shall be expressly set forth in the motion
authorizing the special use permit.
