neighbors.

essential public facilities and services. The church is pce-existing and is currently served by all

19. It is not anticipated that the proposed use will be detrimental to the general
welfare of the community by means of increased traffic, noise, smoke fumes, glare or odors
generated by the use. The church has different peak hours of operation than surrounding
commercial uses. The Prayer Center will be in operation 24 hours a day, and staff will need
clarification from the applicant on the exact usage of the Prayer Center. The church is pre-
existing and the proposed changes will not substantially change the nature of the site.
20- it is found that Che proposed use will not create significant interference with traffic
on the surrounding public streets. The church takes access oFf of Hickory Snect, which connects
to Fairview Avenue. Cars do not take direct access off of Faitiew. The applicant has not
proposed any new curb cuts onto existing streets.
21. It is not found that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed
