adjacent uses, buildings and structures, and the proposed conditional use will not
adversely affect the adjacent uses, buildings or structures as the parking area will service
the assisted living and memory care facility portion of the project. The assisted living
facility project of which the parking area is a part of is bounded on three sides by public
streets which will provide access to the project. Beyond those streets are high density
residential development. On the remaining side the parking area is separated from the
dedicated open space by a landscape buffer.
C. The site for a proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping,
and other development features prescribed in the Development Code and required by the Planning
Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the neighborhood.

facility project. The site will remain adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards,
walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping, and other
development features prescribed in the Development Code as required by the Planning
Commission or City Council in order to integrate the use with other uses in the
neighborhood as the parking area provides the space for the assisted living facility to meet
the minimum parking requirements.
D. The nature of the proposed conditional use is not detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare of the community.
As conditioned, the project will meet all requirements of the Development Code, General
Plan, and Fire and Building Codes which provide safeguards for the health, safety and
general welfare of the community. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to be
detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The project has

policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development
will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and
welfare.
