         schedule of district regulations for the zoning district involved;

    b. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious and
         appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and
         that the use will not change the essential character of the same area;

    c. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
    d. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways, streets, police and fire

         protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and schools; or that the
