In judging whether or not a conditional use permit shall be approved or denied, the planning commission shall find that the following criteria are either met, can be met by observance of conditions, or are not applicable. A conditional use may be granted only if:

A. The proposed use is consistent with the city of Talent comprehensive plan.

B. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the zoning district.

C. The proposed use and development are found to meet the required findings of TMC 18.150.050, Required findings for approval of plan, set forth for approval of a site development plan review.

D. The proposed use will not adversely affect the livability, value, and appropriate development of abutting properties and the surrounding area, compared to the impact of uses that are permitted outright. Testimony of owners of property located within 250 feet of the boundaries of the property in question shall be considered in making this finding.

E. All required public facilities have adequate capacity to serve the proposal. System development charges will be assessed at the time a building permit is issued. Additional SDCs will be assessed for changes in use that are more intense than a preexisting use.

F. The conditional use must include mitigation for any decrease in level of service exceeding city standard or operational safety of the transportation system if the proposal generates more than 500 daily vehicle trips or an additional 50 peak hour trips, per Chapter 18.185 TMC, Traffic Impact Study.

G. The site size, dimensions, location, topography, and access are adequate considering such items as the bulk, coverage or density of the proposed development; the generation of traffic; environmental quality impacts; and health, safety or general welfare concerns.

H. The city of Talent has adequate firefighting equipment to protect the structure, as verified by the Talent fire chief, or arrangements have been or will be made by the developer to ensure that adequate equipment will be available before the occupancy of the building for any use.
