SFMI Exception - iapplicabie A Special Exception may only be granted upon making a written determination, based upon the evidence presented at a public hearing. Please address how the project meets the following criteria. (1) The proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, convenience or general welfare, because: The proposed fire station is replacing the existing fire station and is being brought up to today's standards and will better serve the neighborhood and enhance the public's health, safety and welfare. (2) The proposed use will not injure or adversely affect the use of the adjacent area or property values therein, because: The proposed fire station is replacing an old facility. It is not a new use to the property. There should be no adverse affect with the building of a new fire station. (3) The proposed use will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is located and the land uses authorized therein, because: The new fire station will be consistent with the neighborhood as the proposed use is an updated facility which will better serve the entire area around the facility. (4) The proposed use is compatible with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, because: It is not shown specifically on the City's comprehensive plan. But due to the fact that the proposed fire station is a replacement of an old and outdated fire station facility it makes sense the new fire station is compatible with the intent of the City's latest comprehensive plan.
