2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the
Planning Commission (Case No. 76 -54 -SP) and the effect of the proposed modifica-

conditions, the effect on values of properties in the surrounding area and the
effect of the use on the Comprehensive Plan.

Development to permit expansion and modification of the existing facility will not

the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
