Permit approval, and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code
and the Municipal Code.

and walls, landscaping, parking and loading facilities, yards, and other development
features required in order to integrate the use with uses in the surrounding area.
4. The proposed site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the
kind and quantity of traffic the use would be expected to generate.
5. The establishment of beer and wine sales will not result in an over concentration of
such uses in the area.
6. The establishment of beer and wine sales, as conditioned, will not create a nuisance
due to litter, noise, traffic, vandalism, or other factors.
7. The establishment of beer and wine sales, as conditioned, will not significantly disturb
the peace and enjoyment of the nearby residential neighborhood.
8. The establishment of beer and wine sales will not significantly increase the demand on
City services.
9. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses on-site and in the vicinity of the
subject property.
10. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use at the location
proposed will not be detrimental to the comfort, health, morals, peace, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed
use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood
or to the general welfare of the City.
11. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently
presented and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant
adverse impact on the environment.
