This Zone Change is internally consistent with those goals, objectives, and
policies of the General Plan and compatible (lower) with Trilogy's residential
designation.
2. This Zone Change will not create conditions materially detrimental to the
public health, safety, and welfare in that the resulting land uses will require
Planning Commission and or City Council review and approval of future
development plans, which will ensure that the development meets standards
that will not be materially detrimental.
3. The zone change designation is compatible with the designations on adjacent
properties because the Planning Commission and or City Council review and
approval will ensure compatibility, and in some areas the adjacent use is
similar due to its resort nature.
4. The zone designation is suitable and appropriate for the properties involved
because it is similar to zoning of surrounding properties.
5. The situation and general conditions have substantially changed since the
existing zone designations were imposed in that agricultural and equestrian
uses have not developed in the immediate area and residential uses similar to
the proposed residential zoning have developed.
