uses which already exist as a part of the Plan.

health, safety, and welfare in that the resulting land uses will require Planning
Commission or Planning Commission and City Council review and approval of
future development plans, which will ensure that adequate conditions of approval.
3. The new land use designation is compatible with the designations on adjacent
properties because the Planning Commission andlor City Council review and
approval will ensure compatibility and in some areas, the adjacent use is similar due
to its resort nature.
4. The new land use designation is suitable and appropriate for the properties involved
because it is an extension of the existing resort or a use commonly associated with
the existing uses.
5. The situation and general conditions have substantially changed since the existing
land use designations were imposed in that the resort market has created a market
for additional rental units and rooms.
