Bo Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity? The proposed parking lot has been designed to minimize impacts to the surrounding residential uses. For instance, a wall of trees and shrubs are proposed along the north and south property lines, thereby enclosing the parking lot project. In addition, vehicular access is not permitted on Cypress Avenue, which will also minimize adverse impacts. Will the proposed use stability or future surrounding the area? adversely affect the present economic economic development of properties The development of the site with a parking lot will enhance the economic viability of the area as this use will replace a vacant parcel of land that was previously approved for an apartment project.
