policies of the General Plan in that the Zone Change will be consistent provided
the associated General Plan is approved. -

health, safety, and welfare in that the resulting land uses require Planning
Commission review and approval of development plans, which ensures that the
resulting projects are well designed and adequate conditions of approval are
imposed.

properties because the project on the subject property will be conditioned to

developed with residential uses.
