The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. <br />The proposed amendments are creating or revising the performance standards to <br />ensure uses will conform with standards throughout the Zoning Ordinance. <br />4.

Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the <br />property. <br />Ordinance No. 04-10, page 2 <br />
