SECTION 2: In granting said Conditional Use Permit, the City Council finds that the
requirements of Table 31 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met in that:
1. Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in
the zoning district has been minimized.
2. Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of light
or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not
characteristic of permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately
controlled;
3. The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or man-made
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.
4. 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;
5. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public
in the vicinity; and
6. The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility
pertinent to the Conditional Use and its particular location.
SECTION 3: All Ordinances or parts thereof in conflict with the terms and provisions
hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 4: This Ordinance shall be published in pamphlet form by and under the
authority of the corporate authorities of the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois.
SECTION 5: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage,
approval, and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.
