arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Planning Commission did find the
following facts and reasons to justify its actions, as described below:

dwelling units per acre) is consistent with the existing land use in Ironwood
Country Club and this represents logical extension of Ironwood Country Club.

is consistent with the proposed general plan land use designation.

health, safety or general welfare.

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