The Planning Commission shall make the following written findings before a conditional use shall be issued: (a.) That it is empowered under the section of this chapter described in the application to grant the conditional use; and Finding: The Planning Commission is empowered under §161.15 to grant the requested conditional use permit. (b.) That the granting of the conditional use will not adversely affect the public interest. Finding: Staff finds that granting the conditional use for the cultural use will not adversely affect the public interest. The subject property and surrounding properties have been used historically for cultural and institutional uses for several decades due to the close proximity to the University of Arkansas campus. This specific use was established at the corner of North Storer Avenue and Douglas street, approximately 2 lots south of the subject property, in 1964, and the subject property has been utilized by the University of Arkansas for various cultural uses associated with University student groups, clubs, and associations. (c.) The Planning Commission shall certify: (1.) Compliance with the specific rules governing individual conditional uses; and Finding: There are no specific rules governing this individual conditional use request. (2.) That satisfactory provisions and arrangements have been made concerning the following, where applicable: (a.) Ingress and egress to property and proposed structures thereon with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control and access in case of fire or catastrophe; Finding: Access from Storer Avenue to the subject property currently exists and provides safe ingress/egress and is not proposed to be changed, as the applicant has submitted a shared parking agreement with the University of, Arkansas for Planning Commission consideration. The January 11, 2010 Planning Commission CUP 09-3487 Mt. Comfort Church Agenda Item 2 Page 4 of 18 shared parking spaces are located in the parking lot to the west of the subject property and are accessible from Storer Avenue, Oakland Avenue, and Douglas Street. (b.) Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to ingress and egress, economic, noise, glare, or odor effects of the special exception on adjoining properties and properties generally in the district; Finding: As stated above, the applicant has requested Planning Commission approval of a shared parking agreement with the University of Arkansas. The agreement includes 14 parking spaces (a number based on the current parking needs for the use operating at 535 North Storer Avenue) located in the parking lot across the street to the west of the subject property. (c.) Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to ingress and egress, and off- street parking and loading, Finding: Should the Solid Waste Division determine that a dumpster is required for the proposed use, the dumpster shall be screened in accordance with Chapter 166.14 Commercial Design and Development Standards. (d.) Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and compatibility; Finding: Adequate utilities are available and compatible to serve this development. (e.) Screening and buffering with reference to type, dimensions, and character; Finding: Because nonresidential uses typically must accommodate a parking lot of five (5) parking spaces or more, Chapter 166.14(D)(6) requires screening between all residential uses and nonresidential uses. An existing row of trees along the south property line provides a sufficient screen between the subject property and the multi -family dwelling to the south; however, screening does not existing along the north property line. Staff finds that additional screening along the north property line is not necessary due to the residential form of the structure on the subject property and the off-site parking location for the proposed use. January 11, 2010 Planning Commission CUP 09-3487 Mt. Comfort Church Agenda Item 2 Page 5 of 18 Signs, if any, and proposed exterior lighting with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with properties in the district; Finding: Signage within the RMF -40 is limited. Approval of any proposed signage shall be requested separately by a sign permit application. Any new exterior lighting is required to comply with the City's Lighting Ordinance requiring that lights be shielded with the light directed downward. (g) Required setbacks and other open space; and Finding: Any new development or additions to the structure shall meet open space requirements and required building setbacks for the RMF -40 zoning district. (h.) General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district. Finding: Staff finds the proposed use of this property is consistent with the historical uses of the subject property and the mixture of residential, institutional, and cultural uses in the immediate area. Granting the conditional use permit will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of City's land use and zoning regulations, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood.

The existing home and driveway would be retained as -is and the primary nature of the property would still be. residential. The small-scale nature of the non- residential use is in keeping with the predominantly single family residences to the south, and compatible with mixed uses in the immediate vicinity including industrial and commercial to: the north, and multi -family to the west. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the district.

Applicant is requesting zoning for in home professional/medical office. Proposed building size will be 380 sf within current 2970sf to include office in existing home B. Number of parking spaces required and provided will be 3 on the property (see attached drawing) C. The hours of office operation will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8:30am to 6:OOpm the number of employees will be 0 to 1, the anticipated number of chiropractic patients is average of 20patients/day with peak visits of 5 patients/hour with possibly 2 patients at the same time overlapping D. Outdoor lighting will remain the same as current E. Noise levels will be equivalent to normal home setting F. Screening or buffering from adjacent properties is already in place with vegetation and fencing but is not really applicable as a necessary requirement G. Trash and refuse will be similar to regular residential use for a property of that size with no hazardous chemicals used in the operation of the chiropractic office. There will be no X-ray equipment and no pharmaceuticals present in the office to create and hazardous waste concerns. H. Ingress and egress to the property should not cause any significant impact on current traffic flow I. The current mixed use of the neighborhood would be likely to be a good fit for the home/office proposed. The historic home built in 1893 is unique in this neighborhood and full time habitation would lend itself to continued stability in the neighborhood with a local chiropractic wellness care office to support the community can be seen as beneficial as well.
