within the site and on adjacent streets, cycle tracks and bike paths, minimize traffic impacts on the
streets and roads in the area. A single driveway will continue to serve the site.
(2) The project, including any concurrent road improvements, will not decrease the level of service
(LOS) of all area City and state roads or intersections affected by the project below the existing

landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the area as it relates to landscaping,
drainage, sight lines, building orientation, massing, egress, and setbacks.
D. The requested use will not overload, and will mitigate adverse impacts on, the City's resources,
including the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system, sanitary and storm sewage
collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools. The applicant is using green
infrastructure on site to manage runoff.
E. The requested use meets any special regulations set forth in this chapter. Layout and design in
