accompanying window and wall materials are compatible with the visual attributes of
neighboring structures, and other residential structures within the City’s historical
districts.
C. The project request, as described and presented in the application documents, and
analyzed by staff in its report to the Planning Commission, is consistent with Criteria 8.

project is found to be consistent with the goals and policies established in the
Community Design Element of the General Plan.
D. The project request, as described and presented in the application documents, and
analyzed by staff in its report to the Planning Commission, is consistent with the
purpose, intent and criteria of Zoning Ordinance City Code 10-4-9: Site Plan Review,

intended to protect the integrity of the Residential Historic District and individual
