Located within a Regional Center character area, the proposed use is consistent with the following plan policies and strategies of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan: Create compact mixed use districts and reduce automobile dependency and travel to obtain basic services. Located along major arterials, the proposed use should have little impact on traffic.
