health, safery, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working
witrun the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the City, or

potential to be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and welfare of the
persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed
amendment. The health, safety and welfare of the persons residing or
working within the neighborhood of the property may be improved due to
the future development that could include improvements to infrastructure

of the area consistent with its constraints and will make the area more
compatible with adjacent properties.
