arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the

consistent with the proposed general plan land use designation.
3. The proposed general plan/prezoning will not depreciate property values,
restrict the lawful use of adjacent properties or threaten the public health,
safety or general welfare.

Desert, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Commission in this case.
