Item No. 2 (continued) • ..to protect the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, convenience and general welfare of the people of the Aedwood City, and to serve as an instrnesnt for the effectuation of the General Plan. Ord. fl.l). 19. The General Plan designation for the property on which the Project is proposed to be constructed is *Quasi- public Institutional', a designation consistent with the Hospital's operation. 14. The height of the proposed Project exceeds that specified by the PO zoning district regulations (Zoning Ord. S1.5), but, under the planned development permit regulations maximum heights for structures may be modified (Zoning Ordin. S46.7). 15. notwithstanding the authority to exceed zoning district height regulations under the planned development permit regulations, the proposed Project does not carry out the objectives of the planned development permit regulations because: (i) The size and placement of the proposed office building and parking structure do not promote the most appropriate use and development of the land as presently zoned, to wit: for professional offices with yard and open space and architectural requirements similar to those in residental districts (Zoning Ord. SS46.1; cf., 511.1); (ii) The size and placement of the structures do not encourage and allow diversification in the relationship of buildings and open spaces because they tend to emphasize, rather than diminish, the intensive institutional use of the land for health care and related purposes; (iii) The proposed use of the land does not encourage the development of open space and recreation opportunities close at home because the proposed use is for professional offices and related ccws►ercial purposes. 16. The Project does not advance the objectives of the PO zoning district regulations because the proposed use is not an office type use with yard and open space and architectural requirements similar to those in residental districts, but rather imitates and intensifies the institutional use of the property consistent with the Hospital's operations Icf., Zoning Ord. S11.1). 17. The Project does not advance the general objectives of the Zoning Ordinance because: 41) The proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan designation for the property; (11) it does not promote the health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare because the intensive professional office /commercial /institutional land use nature of the Project conflicts with the single family residental surrounding area, not only in appearance, but in related effects such as the demand for parking and the extensive increase in vehicle trips on streets primarily serving residental uses.
