adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in
which it is proposed to be located.

adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a
manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace,
health, safety and general welfare.

impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and
improved to carry the traffic in the area.

waiver(s), that all of the conditions set forth in Section
