The Planned Development Zone will be appropriate for the subject property in terms of providing General Provisions which set forth the purpose, applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance, range of permitted and conditionally permitted uses and Development Standards, which will be compatible with existing commercial, industrial and residential uses in the immediate vicinity, and will enhance development of the general area; and 4. The Planned Development Rezone will not have a substantial adverse effect on the health or safety of individuals residing or working in the vicinity, or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare or be injurious to property or public improvement as all applicable regulations will be met; and 5. The Planned Development Rezone will not overburden public services or facilities as all agencies have commented that public services are available; and 6. The Planned Development Rezone will be consistent with the policies of the Dublin General Plan designation of Medium-High Density Residential since the project would allow development within the density range allowed by this General Plan land use category; and 7. The Planned Development Rezone will create an attractive, efficient and safe environment though Conditions of Approval; and 8. The Planned Development Rezone will benefit the public necessity, convenience and general welfare and is in conformance with applicable provisions of the Dublin Zoning Ordinance; and 9.
