of 288 townhouses to be situated on property generally lying west of proposed

of W. 36th Street, commonly known as Lohman's Amhurst.
2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the
Planning Commission (Case No, 78 -110 -SP) and the effect of the proposed
special permit on the health, safety and welfare of the occupants of the
surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect
on values of properties in the surrounding area, the effect of the use on
the Comprehensive Plan and compliance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.

ously depreciate surrounding property values, and the proposed special
permit is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordi-
nance and the Comprehensive Plan.
