a. Planning Commission finding under Section 2516.2.c for the Special Land Use permit: Whether, relative to other feasible uses of the site,

• The proposed use will not cause any detrimental impact on existing thoroughfares due to the fact that the use of an 1800 square foot portion of the existing building for a preschool with a maximum of 23 children at any one time would not generate a substantially different amount of traffic than other permitted uses on the site.

• The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses of land in terms of location, size, character, and impact on adjacent property or the surrounding neighborhood due to the location of the tenant space in relation to the property line and the applicant has indicated that there will be minimal use of any outside space.

• The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives and recommendations of the City’s Master Plan for Land Use.

• The proposed use will promote the use of land in a socially and economically desirable manner.
