In recommending that a Specific Use Permit for the premises under consideration be granted, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine that such uses are harmonious and adaptable to building structures and uses of abutting property and other property in the vicinity of the premises under consideration, and shall make recommendations as to requirements for the paving of streets, alley and sidewalks, means of ingress and egress to public streets, provisions for drainage, adequate off-street parking, protective screening and open space, heights of structures and compatibility of buildings.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall consider the following criteria in determining the validity of the SUP request:

3. Is the nature of the use reasonable?
