3. The property subject to the rezone will be served by streets, utilities and other public facilities of sufficient capacity to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to other areas presently zoned in contemplation of full use and availability of such facilities. As part of the comprehensive plan to rezone and redevelop the subject property, the subject property will be improved with adequate public infrastructure such as utilities and other public facilities to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to the immediate area. Planned Unit Development 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed location, with the approval of the rezoning from an RM -1800 District to RM -2500 (PD) District, will be a residential subdivision within an existing residential neighborhood including, multi -story, multi -family residential, single-family residential and some duplex development. The planned development is medium -density residential equaling one unit per 2,900 square feet (five units on 14,500 square feet). Thus, the medium -density design will be compatible with the nearby multi -family and single- family zoning districts. The medium density of the development would be at a lower density than the current RM -1800 base district allows. The proposed residential use protects the character of the surrounding area by providing a density and massing of structures that is in the range of the surrounding development. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, will be consistent with the General Plan; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. The proposal is consistent with City goals, objectives and policies related to housing and land uses outlined in the General Plan. The project increases the housing supply in a manner that will be compatible with the existing area. The development will result in an improvement in appearance to the property, which is currently underutilized. In addition to aesthetic quality, the new single-family homes will be designed, constructed and equipped to provide an adequate level of safety and security for the residents. The site, furthermore, will be adequately served with public services, including utilities. The site planning and the proper use of landscaping materials will allow for security and easy surveillance of the development. The application of current construction practices will prevent disturbances from significant levels of noise emanating from within the completed homes. Sufficient off-street parking will be provided to prevent any significant impact on the proposed on -street parking within the existing neighborhood.
