interested persons desiring to be heard, said City Council did

a similar development.
3. Compatibility between the Tourist Commercial, Mixed
Commercial, and Low Density Residential land use
designations can be ensured because the property is
located in an overall specific plan, an the
property to the north is capable of developing into
a similar use.
4. The environmental review indicates that the
existing or the proposed street system is capable
of accommodating any future project within this
land use designation.
WHEREAS, in the review of this General Plan Land
Use Map and Text Amendment, the City Council has considered the
effect of the contemplated action on the housing needs of the
