3 The City Council has determined that approval of a Final PUD will not be detrimental to the
health, safety, or general welfare of the community nor with certain contemplated traffic
improvements will it cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously depreciate
surrounding property values. The Council has also determined that the proposed Final PUD is in
harmony with the general provisions, purpose and intent of the City's Zoning Ordinance and its
Comprehensive Plan and that the requested modifications comply with the requirements of
Section 14:6-7.2(E).
4 The contents of Planning Case File 95 -51 -PUD are hereby entered into and made part of the
public hearing record and the record of decision for this case.
