tion of the Planning Commission and Petition 82-8-2-22 is hereby denied,
the Council having determined as a matter of fact that the petitioner has
failed to affirmatively demonstrate that the proposed waiver use complies
with the general standards and requirements set forth in Section 19.06 of
the Zoning Ordinance, and for the following additional reasons:
200114
(1) The proposed use is not in harmony with or appropriate to
the surrounding development of the area.
(2) The proposed use would be hazardous to the area from a
traffic standpoint. Traffic to and from the site will
cause undue conflict with the traffic in the area as the
proximity of this proposed use to the intersection of 7
Mile and Farmington is too close to provide for safe and
proper turning movements to and from the site.
(3) This site does not have full capacity to support the
intended use, as proposed development must rely on the off-
street parking area to the north to meet its full off-street
parking requirements in accordance with the zoning ordinance
requirements.
