It is the Board's. responsibility to find that the proposal satisfies all general special exception use criteria (appropriate- ness of the use at the proposed location, compatibility with surrounding land uses, impacts on infrastructure and public facilities) prior to approval of the use. ANALYSIS: Special Exception Use There are no specific land use regulations within the zoning code to apply to this type of proposed use. Thus, the general special exception criteria are the only regulations that apply in the consideration of this request. It is staff's opinion that the request satisfies the general special exception use criteria as follows: 1. The use is appropriate for the subject site due to its location within the community to be served and its location at the intersection of two major roadways within the communi- ty, affording convenient access.
