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 an existing Medium Density use and is a narrow
rectangular shaped lot more suitable for the higher intensity use.
2. The new land use designation is compatible with the similar designations within
the City because the property is accessible from Arterial streets.
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 standards in the General Plan.
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.
5. The Project is consistent with Goals of the General Plan Land Use Element for
residential uses and assists in achieving the Quantified Objectives of the General
Plan Housing Element
