ATTACHMENT D

Findings: 
 
1. 
The proposed land use map designations provide for a land use mix that is appropriate given 
the site’s location along the Loop 202 Freeway corridor and would provide services to the 
nearby residential neighborhoods.  
 
 
2. 
The companion rezoning case, Z-53-22-8, 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.   
 
 
3. 
The companion rezoning case, Z-53-22-8, provides enhanced landscape buffers and building 
height stepbacks to make the proposed development a compatible addition to the area.
