Area. This land use primarily consists of planned residential subdivisions and lots located directly on
arterial roadways. This land use supports large lot residential development and allows agricultural
operations as an accessory use where appropriate. The use will be consistent with the comprehensive
plan.
Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard.

There is one vacant lot directly north of the subject parcel, but this lot is a buildable lot in the zoning
district. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding

and standards for the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city.
