Findings: 
1.
The companion rezoning case, Z-2-20-4, as stipulated, proposes commercial and
multifamily on the site that is consistent in scale and character with land uses in
the general area.
2.
The Mixed Use land use designation requested is consistent with the proposed
R-4A and C-2 zoning, as it allows commercial and residential land uses within a
quarter-mile of two modes of high-capacity transit.
3.
The subject site is in proximity to two planned high-capacity transit lines. Thus, a
gradual increase in residential density from the existing land use designation is
appropriate.
