Scenario: A prospective business owner would like to start a business in a commercial zone located on the edge of the downtown area and directly adjacent to a residential area. Before he can start his business he needs to get a conditional use permit from the City. The business owner is able to meet all site plan requirements and it appears proper to grant the permit. However, 10 irate property owners appear at the public hearing and demand that the City deny the conditional use request because it may result in additional traffic on a nearby highway.
