Special Use Permit
Supporting Information for a Proposed
Concrete/Asphalt Batch Plant in a Commercial Zone
(This form must be filled out completely before your application will be accepted.)
The Zoning Board of Adjustment cannot approve a Special Use Permit unless all of the
"General Standards"and the "Commercial Zone Standards"are met. In order to facilitate review
of this application for a Special Use Permit, the applicant must address each of the "General
Standards", set forth in Section 29.1503, the "Commercial Zone Standards", set forth in Section
29.1503(4)(c) of the Zoning Ordinance, and the limitations set forth in Section 26.1311.
(Note: The applicant's explanation of how the request meets each standard may be attached on a
separate sheet if sufficient space is not provided.)
1. General Standards. 'The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review each application for the
purpose of determining that each proposed use meets the following "General Standards", set
forth in 29.1503(4)(a), and in addition, shall find adequate evidence that each use in its
proposed location will:
(a) Be harmonious with and in accordance with the general principles and
proposals of the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP).
Explain how the request meets this standard.
The existing and future land use for this property is Highway-Oriented Commercial.
The proposed use is temporary so following the 2017 construction season the site
could still follow the Land Use Policy.Plan(LUPP) and develop as commercial.
(b) Be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious in
appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and
that such use will not change the essential character of the area in which it is
proposed.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
Highway 30 lies to the north, an undeveloped commercial property to the south, a car
mechanic to the east and a rock quarry to the southeast. The temporary concrete
batch facility will sit in the central portion of the site which is approximately 390'
from S. Dayton Place and approximately 250' from Highway 30. The existing abandanoned
truck stop parking lot that sits on the property will be in between the car mechanic and the
concrete facility. At the end of the construction season the concrete facility will be removed and
they are going to remove all of the gravel and pavement on the site to make the site more visually
appealing. 4
Application Form Last Updated: December 31, 2014
(c) Not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future uses in the same general
vicinity.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
There are no hazardous activities being done on the site. Concrete trucks and employee vehicles
will be entering and leaving the site throughout the day. However, the traffic has a clear path to
Highway 30 so traffic conjestion should not be an issue
(d) Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, streets, police, fire protection, drainage structure, refuse disposal,
water and sewage facilities, and/or schools.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
The site has a paved access to a public street, S. Dayton Place. The temporary concrete facility
is located in the center of the site with gravel or pavement leading to the plant so emergency
vehicle access should not be an issue. A dumpster will be located onsite for trash collection.
The temporary facility does not require sewer utilities and portable water tanks will be used for
water service to the property. Portable restroom facilities will be provided for employees.
(e) Not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
There are no public infrastructure improvements needed to operate this facility so there will
be no additional cost to the city.
5
Application Form Last Updated: December 31, 2014
(t) Not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment or conditions of
operation that will be detrimental to any person, property or general welfare by
reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
Any chemicals used to make the concrete are enclosed and mixed within the temporary concrete
batch facility. Any additional traffic generated from this temporary use will funnel onto S. Dayton
Place which is a low traffic road close to Highway 30. The majority of the traffic from this
site will funnel directly on to Highway 30.
(g) Be consistent with the intent and.purpose of the Zone in which it is proposed to
locate such use.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
Currently the property is an abandoned truck stop zoned for Highway-Oriented Commercial
uses. The concrete batch facility is temporary which will allow for the property to be
redeveloped as commercial following the 2017 construction season.
2. Commercial Zone Standards. If the proposed Concrete/Asphalt Batch Plant is found in
the HOC-Highway-Oriented Commercial Zone, please complete this section. It is not
required for the A-Agricultural Zone. The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review each
application for the purpose of determining that each proposed use in a commercial zone meets
the "Commercial Zone Standards", set forth in 29.1503(4)(c), which are listed below, and shall
find adequate evidence that each use in its proposed location will:
(a) Be, compatible with the potential commercial development and use of property
planned to occur in the area.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
The proposed concrete batch plant is temporary through the 2017 construction season. The
property can still be developed as highway commercial in the future. This will remain consistent
with the commercial zoned property to the south and east.
6
Application Form Last Updated: December 31, 2014
(b) Represent the sufficiently desirable need for the entire community that the loss
of commercial land is justifiable in relation to the benefit.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
No commercial land will be lost. The concrete facility is temporary so this property can be
developed as commercial following the 2017 construction season.
(c) Be consistent with all other applicable standards in the zone.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
There is no permanent structure being proposed. The location of the concrete batch plant meets all
setback requirements, only one new flood light will be needed on the facility which will shine
down on the site so that there is no light pollution and all parking will occur on the existing
paved surfaces.
3. Concrete/Asphalt Batch Plant Limitations. The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review
each application for the purpose of determining whether the proposed use meets the locational
limitations and setback requirements set forth in 29.1311(3) and (4). The Board may apply the
General Development Standards of Article 4, or any other appropriate standard, as a condition
of approval as it seems necessary for the general welfare, for the protection of individual
property rights, and for ensuring that the intent and objectives of this ordinance will be
observed.

tract, parcel or lot containing a residential use? No
(b) Is the tract, parcel or lot on which the proposed use is located 250 feet or more from a
