arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission
did find the following facts and reasons to exist to justify granting approval of said precise

interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity by the occupants
thereof for lawful purposes.

described more fully in the staff report dated December 5, 2000.

public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
