The purpose of the 1-1 use district is "to provide areas of the community that will allow general industrial uses that, due to their size and nature, would not conform to the 'C-5' Business Park Use District." Outdoor storage is appropriate for this district because of aesthetics. One purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to "protect the residential, business, industrial and public areas of the community and maintain their stability." The proposed use is consistent with this goal, provided the site complies with all conditions of approval. (4) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services, or improvements, which are either existing or proposed. So long as all conditions of approval are adhered to the uses will not over burden municipal facilities. (5) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close proximity to the conditional use. The Zoning Ordinance places conditions on outdoor storage in the 1-1 use district to protect adjacent uses. Provided all conditions are met, the use will not have undue adverse impacts on the properties in close proximity. (6) The use is subject to the design and other requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or under the direction of a professional landscape architect, or civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota, approved by the Planning Commission and incorporated as part of the conditions imposed on the use by the Planning Commission. A professional engineer prepared the site plan for the application. (7) The use is subject to drainage and utility plans prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota which illustrate locations of city water, city sewer, fire hydrants, manholes, power, telephone and cable lines, natural gas mains, and other service facilities. The plans shall be included as part of the conditions set forth in the CUP approved by the City Council. A registered civil engineer prepared drainage and utility plans for the administrative site plan application. (8) The use is subject to such other additional conditions which the Planning Commission may find necessary to protect the general welfare, public safety and neighborhood character. Such additional conditions may be imposed in those situations where the other dimensional standards, performance standards, conditions or requirements in this Ordinance are insufficient to achieve the objectives contained in subsection 1108.202. In these circumstances, the Planning Commission may impose restrictions and conditions on the CUP which are more stringent than those set forth in the Ordinance and which are consistent with the general conditions above. The additional conditions shall be set forth in the CUP approved by the Planning Commission. The City Council may revise recommended conditions or attach additional conditions, as they deem appropriate to protect the general welfare, public safety, and neighborhood character.
