Page 2 of 2, <br /> 1102 West Ravina Park Road <br /> December 1,2011 <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 an ambulance service to better serve the <br /> northwest portions of our City as well as parts of northwest Macon County. This proposed use is <br /> compatible with the neighboring uses and general area. An ambulance service provides a service <br /> 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 ambulance service has been located in the City at other <br /> locations and there are no known complaints from neighboring residents and do not appear to have <br /> had an adverse effect on the neighborhoods in which they are located. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Based on the analysis, staff recommends approval of the petition as submitted with the following <br /> conditions: <br /> a. Landscaping: All existing trees and vegetation located in the required 23.8 foot buffer yard <br /> shall remain intact. <br /> b. If approved by City Council, the Ordinance shall not be signed until a copy of the recorded <br /> deed has been given to the City Clerk showing Professional Management and Leasing as the <br /> owner of the property. <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 11-48 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 /> Suzan Stickle <br /> Senior Planner <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
