To provide a precise guide for the physical development of the city in such <br />a manner as to achieve progressively the arrangement of land uses <br />depicted in the general plan adopted by the city council; <br /> <br />Insomuch as the Project requests a General Plan amendment to designate <br />Project land uses Medium Density Residential, the Project will achieve the land <br />uses depicted in the General Plan. <br /> <br />B. To foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; <br /> <br />The pre-zoning of the Project site to PUD will foster a harmonious, convenient, <br />workable relationship among land uses by allowing for new residential <br />development to locate immediately adjacent to the existing residential community <br />of the Villages at the Ironwood. <br /> <br />C. To promote the stability of existing land uses that conform with the general <br />plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful <br />intrusions; <br /> <br />The pre-zoning of the Project site will promote the stability of existing land uses <br />that conform to the General Plan through its accompanying requested General <br />Plan amendment to reflect the Project’s proposed development and will protect <br />from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions by setting the stage to allow <br />the Project site to be developed with homes. <br /> <br />D. To insure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes <br />which are most appropriate and most beneficial from the standpoint of the <br />city as a whole; <br /> <br />The pre-zoning of the Project site to PUD will ensure that these privately owned <br />lands are used for residential uses, which are most appropriate and beneficial at <br />this location from the standpoint of the city as a whole. <br /> <br />E. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with <br />structures; <br />Page 26 of 344
