proposed site development plans;

standards, purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development section of
the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. The Planned Unit Development Amendment proposal will allow for the
utilization of the land in question in a manner which is compatible with,
complimentary to and of comparable intensity to adjacent land uses as well
as those permitted on surrounding land.
4. The utilization of the property as proposed under the Planned Unit
Development Amendment is considered a reasonable use of the property
and will conform with ordinance standards, except for allowing the reduced
parking setbacks from the east and south boundary lines, from 35-feet to 25-
feet in both areas.
5. The modifications from the Zoning Ordinance standards as noted in No. 3
above are justified on the basis of the development being an appropriate
redevelopment of this area and that they are offset or mitigated by various
factors contained in the approved development plan.
