The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. The modification for the restoration plans of Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex is consistent with the Highway Tourist land use designation. The General P/an Highway Tourist designation includes retail, o�ce and restaurant uses. The project is consistent with all applicable General P/an policies and with a/l applicab/e zoning designation regu/ations and standards contained within the Vail Ranch Specific Plan and the Developmenf Code including the development standards within the Highway Tourist zoning district and all applicable requirements for lot coverage, building setbacks, floor area ratio, /andscape requirements and parking requirements for projects in the Highway Tourist zone. 2. . The proposed project occurs within City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.

All surrounding uses are urban uses including commercial uses. 3. The project site has no value for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project site is not known to have va/ue or habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project houses six existing historic structures and the property has been utilized from time to time for specia/ events. The project is in compliance with the Mu/tiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
