testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Planning Commission did make the following mandatory findings to justify a
recommendation for approval of said General Plan Amendment:

involved because it is a residential design, scale, and density though will
accommodate a residential transient user and is a continuation of the adjacent
residential development.
2. The new land use designation is compatible with the designations on adjacent
properties because it is residential.
3. The proposed Amendment will not create conditions materially detrimental to
the public health, safety, and welfare in that the resulting land use does not
exceed the allowable density in the Medium Density Residential category.
4. That the General Plan Amendment is within an area that will be provided with
adequate utilities and public services to ensure public health and safety.
