SECTION II: 1.

Table LU-3 in the General Plan Land Use Element indicates that residential zoning districts, including the R-3 and R-4 zones are compatible with the MDR General Plan land use designation established by the project's General Plan Amendment No. 0004-22. 3. The R-3 zoning and implementation of the Small Lot Subdivision Development Standards allows a small lot residential development use and physical development conditions that are generally compatible with the Single Family Residential, 7,000 square foot lot(R-1-7)zoning to the north, Residential Multiple Family (R-3) zoning to the east, and Commercial Professional C-P)zoning to the east, south, and west which accommodates residential uses, a mix of retail and service commercial uses, and professional offices. The zoning supports the pattern of residential development east and west of the site on Katella Avenue.
