Six Standards of a Conditional Use Permit Provide an explanation on how the proposed land use will meet all six standards. 1. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general welfare. Carmen' s elderly parents will use an existing basement bedroom, bathroom, and family room area to live in. The space has a legal bedroom with a large window. The bath is a full bath with low-sill step in shower. The basement space has three possible emergency exits. The house was built in 2007 with this space, and all utilities were sized for it . 2. The uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use. We anticipate no impact at all on neighbors. The dependents being cared for are elderly, and have a quiet lifestyle. The property was purchased with this use in mind because it offers good privacy for both residents and neighbors. Only one of the proposed residents is eligible to drive, so at most one additional vehicle will be added for light daily use 3. That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The conditional use will have no impact on adjacent land. No new construction outside the house is proposed. Neighbors will be able to develop or improve their property exactly as they can now. 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary site improvements have been or are being made. The house was built in 2007-08 by others and the bedroom and bathroom proposed for use were included in the design and construction at that time. The buildkng was permitted and inspected during construction. The utilities in the house are all modern, and we have observed no strain on any system even with heavy usage. 5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. No new ingress or egress is needed. At most, one additional car will use the existing driveway. We presently have two vehicles and a 3-car garage, so adequate space for one additional vehicle exists now. 6. That the conditional use shall conform to all applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The conditional use proposed is quiet in nature, is for the care of elderly family members, and imposes no additional burden on neighbors . To our knowledge it will meet all applicable regulations of the A-1 zoning district it is in. The covenants for the neighborhood do not address dependent living arrangements one way or another.
