The uses permitted by the proposed classification must be compatible with existing and proposed uses in the general neighborhood. The uses permitted by the RS (PD) are the same uses permitted in the RS District. The RS (PD) designation will allow for a Planned Development (PD) application for the Planning Commission and City Council to review. A PD application is discretionary and the reviewing bodies will determine if the proposed use is compatible with the existing and proposed uses in the general vicinity. 3. The property subject to the reclassification 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 reclassify and redevelop the subject property, the subject property and the area will be improved with adequate, public infrastructure, such as, streets for access, utilities and other public facilities, to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to the immediate area.

The proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated and 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 with the removal of the existing structures on the property and the subsequent redevelopment of the property with the new single- family homes. In addition to aesthetic quality, the new homes will be designed, constructed and equipped to provide an adequate level of safety and security for the residents, furthermore, the site will be adequately served with public services, including utilities, shopping that is within walking distance in the downtown area, public
