t The proposed PUD will allow uses more compatible with the existing surrounding uses
~ 2 and will delete some uses currently allowed in the C-H, Highway Commercial District,
3 which may no longer be appropriate for the site. No change is proposed to existing
4 structures, parking, or landscaping. The project has been conditioned to provide
5 additional street trees and to underground overhead utility lines, which will result in a
6 more attractive streetscape. In addition, any future change in use will be required to
7 comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance (unless otherwise provided in the
8 PUD Development Standards), including, but not limited to, building and site design,
9 parking, and landscaping.
10
11 B. That the proposed rezoning to PUD is consistent with the provisions of Article 19A,

25 designated as a collector street and Magnolia Avenue is designated. as an arterial in the
26 General Plan. Site access is provided from both Keokuk Street and Magnolia Avenue.
27 No intensification of use is proposed; therefore, no significant additional traffic would be
28 generated at this time by this project. A future change in use would be evaluated based,.
29 in part, on traffic generated and the adequacy of the existing street network to
3o accommodate such traffic.
32 D. That the proposed project, as conditioned, will not be detrimental to the public welfare,
33 will be in the best interests of the City, and will be in keeping with the general intent and
34 spirit of the zoning regulations of the City and with the General Plan.
35
36 The project, as conditioned, complies with the applicable provisions of the Municipal
