Page 2 of 2 <br /> 2505 North Main Street <br /> j March 1, 2012 <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 1. Section XXII.A.3. lists three standards which must be met in order to grant a conditional use <br /> permit. The first standard requires the applicant to show that the use is "necessary for the public <br /> convenience at the location." The proposed use is generally compatible with the neighborhood <br /> and provides a service which can be utilized by area residents. <br /> 2. The proposed use also meets the second standard. The facility is located and designed to be <br /> operated in a manner that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected. <br /> 3. This use also meets the third standard. The facility will not cause substantial injury to the value of <br /> other properties in the neighborhood. The coffee shop has been at this particular site since 2008 <br /> and it does not appear to have had an adverse effect on the neighborhood. <br /> 4. The proposed commercial use is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the <br /> Decatur Urban Corridors Plan. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit as submitted. <br /> PLAN COMMISSION ACTION <br /> 1. Section XXII.A.2. requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a conditional use <br /> permit request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final <br /> approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 12-05 to the City Council with a <br /> recommendation for approval is suggested. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability <br /> Division, Department of Planning and Building Services, City of Decatur. <br /> Joselyn A.
