blockage of light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a
type of degree not characteristic of permitted uses in the zoning district
have been appropriately controlled;

manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the
zoning district. The use will not have undue deleterious effect on the
environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood character
already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses
in the district.
D. The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of
permitted uses in the district, nor generate disproportionate demand for
new services or facilities. In such a way as to place undue burdens
upon existing development in the area;
E. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or healthy of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the uses nor of the
general public in the vicinity; and
