A. That the use would be in conformance with all standards within the
zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located, and in conformance
with relevant comprehensive plan policies that are implemented by any
Athens-Clarke County, State, or Federal law or program.
B. That adequate capacity of Athens-Clarke County facilities for water,
sewer, paved access to and through the development, electricity, urban
storm drainage, and adequate transportation can and will be provided
to and through the subject property.
C. That the special use will have no greater adverse material effect
on the livability of the impact area when compared to the development
of the subject lot with the target use of the zone. When evaluating
the effect of the proposed use on the impact area, the following factors
of livability of the impact area shall be considered in relation to
the target use of the zone:
1. Similarity in scale, bulk, and coverage.
2. Generation of traffic and effects on surrounding streets. Increases
in pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit use are considered beneficial
regardless of capacity of facilities.
3. Architectural compatibility with the impact area.
4. Air quality, including the generation of dust, odors, or other
environmental pollutants.
5. Generation of noise, light, and glare.
6. The development of adjacent properties compatible with the future
land use plan and the zoning district.
7. Other factors found to be relevant by the hearing authority for
review of the proposed use.
