City Council must find the prezoning to be in the public
interest and adopt the following findings:

General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential;
• That the proposed annexation will eliminate
an isolated unincorporated “pocket” of land;
• That once developed according to the anticipated
zoning, the proposed land use pattern will be compatible
to the adjoining land uses; and,
• That the right-of-way improvements associated
with the proposed annexation will improve the existing
infrastructure.
