That the proposed use of this property would be inconsistent with the <br />Policies and Strategies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan, <br />particularly the Chapters on Land Use and Housing and Neighborhoods. <br />d.

That the applicant has demonstrated through materials submitted that <br />existing towers provide coverage of the general area and that the proposed <br />tower is only intended to expand and enhance service. <br />3. That on the basis of the above findings and determinations, and each of them <br />independently, the report provided by staff, the recommendation of the Planning <br />Commission, the materials, presentations and testimony presented at the public hearing <br />on this matter, and other relevant factors, the request for Use Permit UP -17 -05 is hereby <br />DENIED. <br />4.
