proposed zoning amendment and that the judgment of a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of, and
has been found to be consistent with, the official City Comprehensive Plan.

the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the city's vision goals and policies, and are appropriate for each type of
use.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
The changes contained within this amendment will increase the compatibility between present and
future land uses.
