1. Content. The master plan contains all of the components required in Section 20.268.070 VMC.

2. Compliance with all applicable standards. The proposed development and uses comply with all applicable standards of the title, except where variances are being approved as part of the master plan application.

3. Transportation system capacity. There is either sufficient capacity in the transportation system to support the development proposed in all future phases safely or there will be adequate capacity by the time each phase of development is completed.

4. Availability of public services. There is either sufficient capacity within public services such as water supply, police and fire services, and sanitary waste and storm water disposal, to support the development proposed in all future phases adequately, or there will be adequate capacity available by the time each phase of development is completed.

5. Protection of designated resources. City-designated resources such as historic landmarks, significant trees and sensitive natural resources (as identified on the city’s inventories) are protected and enhanced in compliance with the regulations in this and other titles of the Municipal Code.

6. Compatibility with adjacent uses. The master plan contains design, landscaping, parking/traffic management and multi-modal transportation elements that limit conflicts between the public facility campus and adjacent uses.

7. Mitigation of off-site impacts. All potential off-site impacts including litter, noise, shading, glare and traffic, will be identified and mitigated to the extent practicable.

8. Balance of benefits and impacts. The public benefits of the proposed public facility outweigh any impacts that cannot be mitigated after considering the alternatives.

B. Conditions of approval. The review authority shall impose any conditions of approval necessary to mitigate potentially adverse impacts on surrounding properties to the greatest extent practicable. (Ord. M-3643, 01/26/2004)
