The project will be reviewed by the City's Architectural Review Commission for consistency with the Community Design Guidelines prior to approval. 5. All affected public facilities, services, and utilities are adequate to serve the proposed project. 6.

The site is adequate for the project in terms of size, configuration, and other applicable features (as conditioned), and has appropriate access to public streets with adequate capacity to accommodate the quantity and type of traffic expected to be generated by the use. 8.
