The proposed banquet facility will not provide a service to the community. The commercial center in which the facility is proposed is insufficiently designed to accommodate a high - impact use such as a banquet facility. The low perimeter block wall that separates the commercial building from the adjacent residential land uses is insufficient to mitigate the Impacts from noise and congregation activities generated by a banquet facility. Moreover, the minimal setback between the commercial building and the adjacent residential land uses does not provide an adequate buffer between a high - impact land use such as a banquet facility and sensitive land uses such as the single- family residences that surround the project site. In addition, substantial upgrades required to the building for the banquet facility, including additional emergency exits near sensitive land uses and emergency alarms, will negatively impact the well -being of the neighborhood in which it is proposed. 2. That the proposed use will not, 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 banquet facility will be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because the banquet facility's location and off - street parking requirements contribute to negative impacts to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons in the vicinity. The constricted parking supplies on the project site result in negative impacts to the surrounding community that will pose risks to motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, and emergency response vehicles in the neighborhood. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed use will adversely affect the economic stability of the area because it reduces the viability of the site to accommodate other businesses and their parking requirements. The construction of a high - impact use such as a banquet facility at a center that is already deficient in parking reduces the economic viability of the area, causing negative impacts to the existing and potential tenants at the integrated development site and causing nuisances and risks to the surrounding residential community.
