the orderly and proper development of the community and is compatible with the neighboring
properties to the north, south, east and west, which are developed with a mobile home community,
hotel, and commercial/industrial uses.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and its permitted uses locally established in close proximity to the Property and to the zones and
their permitted uses generally established throughout the community in that surrounding properties
include a mobile home community within the "T" Transition Zone and the hotel in the "C -G"
General Commercial Zone.

constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts,
