50 17.205.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have
51 on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
52 Business development at this site for business zoning will meet the plan objectives
53 by providing additional business zoned land in an area where there is little available
54 B- Business zoned land and vacancy rates of B- Business zoned land is low.

58 Chapter 4 Land Use and Ownership page 28 Goals, Policies and Implementation
59 Actions "Zone land to meet future housing, commercial, industrial and other land
60 needs."
61
62 Chapter 12 Implementation page 3 "Identify an adequate supply of land in each
63 community to meet future needs for homes and businesses, including commercial
64 and industrial uses..."
65
66 17.205.020.C. Recommendations as to the approval or disapproval of the
67 change or amendment.
68

70 minimal impact to the adjacent residential neighborhood.
71
72 KIB Code 17.90.050.0 Business District: Screening. "Where a business use is
73 adjacent to a residential use or district, that business shall provide and maintain
74 screening as approved by the commission."
