3. The new designation is compatible with the designations on adjacent properties,
insofar as High Density Residential land use designations occur to the south of
the proposed General Plan Amendment, and multi -family residential development
occurs to the north.

the apartments exist on the northern portion of the amendment area, and the
City proposes to provide additional multi -family units on the flat, vacant portion
of the area.
5. The continued development of the City requires the continued analysis of
current conditions, and this General Plan amendment reflects these conditions
and accommodates for future growth within the City.
