In consideration of a short plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
A. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;

District. The current zoning district of the proposed plat is I-L (Light Industrial District). The
Comprehensive Plan allows for incidental retail and office uses in the I-L Zone. The office

B. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate
the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the development. Water and sewer
services have already been installed with the Gemtone Center No. 2 Subdivision improvements.
Fire, police, solid waste and irrigation services are all adequate. The adjacent public roadways
have been completed to the required design and approach standards.
C. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City's
capital improvements program;

subj ect subdivision will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to
