Road, Maria Drive), and said thoroughfares, with the improvements herein
required, are adequate to carry traffic generated by the development.
2. The Corona Creek II development plan as conditioned, results in a more desirable
use of the land and a better physical environmental than. would be possible under
any single zoning district by establishing diversity in the streetscape and
architecture through varied unit plans and lot-specific street frontage setbacks.
3. The plan for the Corona Creek II development as conditioned, presents a unified
and organized arrangement of buildings which are appropriate in relation to nearby
properties, particularly the rural properties along Corona Road, and the adjacent
Liberty Farms subdivision, through use of compatible lotting patterns and
development standards adjacent to existing development.
4. The natural and scenic qualities of the site, and rural environment along Corona
Road, including the historic Corona Club building, and existing significant trees,
are protected, with adequate public and private spaces designated on the PUD
