and service facilities in the vicinity, as the proposed uses will be
compatible to said land uses, and transportation and service facilities
in the immediate vicinity.

public health, safety and general welfare.

location of buildings, vehicular access, circulation and parking, set-
backs, height, public safety and similar elements have been designed to
provide a desirable environment for the development.

Approval, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the
architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building
materials and colors, screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior
lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project in
order to insure compatibility of this development with its design concept
and the character of adjacent buildings and uses.
j) General project landscaping provisions for irrigation, maintenance and
protection of landscaped areas and similar elements have been considered
to insure visual relief to complement buildings and structures and to
provide an attractive environment to the public.
