Six Standards of Conditional Use Per the Conditional Use Permit Requirements, an explanation outlining how the proposed land use meets each of the following six(6) standards for Conditional Use is included in the following sections. 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. The proposed temporary ready mix concrete plant operations will have minimal impact to the public. All ingredients with the exception to the limestone aggregates and cement, are already handled onsite and distributed offsite via truck. With the RMC plant some product that had left the site as raw sand will now be utilized in the production of ready mix concrete; reducing the potential impact from truck traffic. All activities are proposed to take place within the existing operative quarry area and are not expected to impact traffic levels,dust levels,or noise beyond the property lines. 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. Surrounding parcels are a mix of RH-1 rural housing districts,C-2 commercial districts, and Al-EX agricultural districts. No foreseeable negative impacts to these uses, property value, or enjoyment of these properties are expected. The temporary RMC plant will utilize the southern 10 acres of the property which is already operating as a pit/quarry for the production of RMC. Potential impacts from the installation are similar to those that already exist from current quarry/pit operations and are easily controllable via implementation of best management practices such as the use of water for dust suppression, proper material storage practices, and appropriate waste management and mitigation efforts. 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 RMC batch plant is consistent with existing quarry operations. No activity at the facility is expected to impact the function of any adjacent or nearby parcel in any way beyond the existing facility function. 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary site improvements have been or are being made. The proposed temporary RMC plant is not expected to demand significant increases in electrical use, demand for road access,or changes to drainage properties at the site. No well will be required as water will be supplied for concrete batching by storm water retention ponds located onsite. Power will be provided by portable generators. Trucks will utilize the existing quarry/pit
