SCU02-00 1 Page 20f3 e e Analysis: Barbour's Cut Boulevard is the main truck route to and from the Barbour's Cut Terminal facility. As a result, numerous trucking services related businesses are located along this corridor. There is a small residential neighborhood one block to the south of the site and three houses along North 1st Street that are within a General Commercial zone. A Resolution #01-12 promotes North "E" Street from g1h Street to 1st Street as a buffer between commercial actiyities along Barbour's Cut Boulevard and residential areas. Currently, portions of N "E' Street have been cleared, but most of the neighborhood will be screened from the site by North "E" Street. (See ExhibitD - Resolution #01-12.) The applicant is seeking the SCUP under Section 106-217 of the Code of Ordinances, which establishes the following review criteria and conditions for approval: . That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of the other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate yicinity. . That the conditions placed on such use, as specified in each district, haye been met by the applicant. . That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed, based on specific site constraints necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community. Staff noted that the proposed use is compatible with the industrial uses in the area. Developing this tract should not have any adverse impacts on the surrounding area. Because water and sanitary sewer are both available to the site, only a nominal impact will be placed on these public services. Drainage issues are handled through storm water detention within the project. The applicant understands that no permanent structures can be built in the 60' drainage easement. To proyide better access, the applicant will improve North 3 rd Street, in accordance with Section 5.01 of the City's Development Ordinance, to ensure that paying meets or exceeds street design standards that accommodate trucks. Furthermore, North 3rd Street will only be improved to the end of the driveway (approximately 270'). In the future, North "E" Street will become a buffer from the industrial uses and the residential community. Summary!
