2. The P -I zoning classification, as requested for the south portion of the site, is consistent
with the LA -2 and P -I guiding for that portion of the site.
3. The proposed residential development and lot arrangement would comply with city
standards.
4. The proposed lower density for the residential portion of the site would result in a
development that balances preservation of the environment with reasonable and responsible
use of land, and would also result in less impervious surface coverage, thereby reducing
runoff to the creek. Furthermore, the proposed lower density would result in a
development that would be compatible with the existing character of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
5. Adequate infrastructure would be available to support RSF-3 and P -I zoning, as well as the
residential development proposed for the site.
