WHEREAS, after consideration of all testimony and all relevant evidence, the Planning
Commission has determined that the following Development Code Amendment findings can
be made in an affirmative manner:

General Plan.

public health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land use pattern.
C. The proposed change of zones and revisions to Title 16 satisfy the intent of
chapters 16.04, 16.12, and 16.44, the Municipal Code and provide for internal
consistency;
