Findings: 
1.
The proposed land use map designations provide a land use mix that is appropriate
given the site location adjacent to existing single-family residential uses and three
arterial streets (Baseline Road, Southern Avenue, and 59th Avenue).
2.
The companion rezoning case, Z-25-24-8, creates a unified zoning framework through a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the entire site. The General Plan Amendment will
provide for a General Plan Land Use Map designation that is consistent with the
proposed PUD.

the area.
