The proposed site is or will be compatible with present <br />and future land uses of the area. <br />It is anticipated that the proposed site is compatible <br />with present and Intended land uses and zoning of the <br />area.

If more than 3 persons are living there, <br />the use is than classified as group housing and <br />requires a Conditional Use Permit, CUP. <br />4.

The proposed use can be accommodated with existing <br />public services and will not overburden the City's <br />service capacity. <br />All public services are existing and able to <br />accommodate the proposed use.
