That the Conditional Use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where
proposed and developed according to the plan as proposed.
This is true, the plant will be developed utilizing safety measures that will limit potential problems
and contain on-site materials in the event of a spill. Materials used in this process will largely be
non -hazardous and are not unlike pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers used on adjacent farms.
These materials will be handled in a way that will minimize potential impacts on adjacent property
owners. The entrance way to the site will be moved to the specifications of NCDOT and all
applicable agencies will be required, through the conditions, to review the facility before operation
may commence. The location of the facility at least 500 feet from all property lines will meet the
standards of more intensive uses and will lessen the potential for impacts on adjacent property
owners.
That the Conditional Use meets all required conditions and specifications.
The specifications imposed voluntarily by the applicant (see "conditions of use" listed on staff
report) will be enforced by the Planning & Development Department. A site plan will be
required for this development at which time the Department of Planning and Development
would ensure that the required conditions are met.
That the location and character of the Conditional Use if developed according to the plan as proposed
will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan of
development of the County and environs.
The surrounding area is comprised of agricultural and residential properties. The proposed
facility will utilize crops that are grown both on and off-site and will benefit local farms and
farmers. The conditions imposed on this property, including the setback requirement,
restriction of uses, buffers, agency approval requirements, and limitations on commercial
deliveries will aid in keeping harmony with the pattern of the area and the goals of the Iredell
County Land Use Plan and further County goals in supporting the existing agricultural uses
found throughout Iredell County.
