the orderly and proper development of the community and is compatible with the adjacent
properties to the north, south, east and west, which are developed with multiple -family residential
homes.

and its permitted uses locally established in close proximity to the Property and to the zones and

located within the boundaries of the City of Anaheim include multiple family residential uses
within the "RM -3.5" Multiple -Family Residential Zone.
