1. The project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the
General Plan and the zoning district in which the project is located.
The proposed light industrial building and ancillary improvements are
compatible with the General Plan and the proposed use furthers the goals
and objectives of the General Plan, and the proposed project is found to be
consistent with the General Plan. The subject use is permitted in the M-1
district and the proposed development complies with all applicable
development standards or has requested approval of the necessary variance.

Code.

provisions of the Municipal Code.
The proposed project provides a design that incorporates varied building
planes to break up the monotony, varied roof lines, and the incorporation of
other architectural treatments that provide a high quality design. The
proposed project has been centrally located on the property in order to
mitigate massing along the property lines. Landscaping has been fully
developed to mitigate visual impacts. The proposed project has been
designed in such a manner as to mitigate all potential visual impacts
associated with mechanical equipment.

development of the property in accordance with the objectives of Chapter
