f) What impacts would the proposed change of land use designation have on the current use of other properties in the vicinity, and what measures should be taken to assure compatibility with the uses of other properties in the vicinity? g) Would the change of the land use designation sought by the proponent create pressure to change the land use designation of other properties in the vicinity? If so, would the change of land use designation for other properties be in the best long term interests of the community in general? WHEREAS, with regard to the Earl Bumpass property located at 10121 9th Avenue West,the City Council finds: 1. The purpose for the requested land use map amendment is to allow for the construction of a self serve storage facility on the subject property only, without any connection or integration with abutting commercially zoned property; 2. The designation proposed by the requested amendment to the land use map of the comprehensive plan is not consistent with the locational criteria listed in the Land Use Element for the "Mixed Use Commercial -Multiple Family"unless the subject property is combined with abutting commercially designated and zoned property; 3. The applicant has not cited changed circumstances since the adoption of the comprehensive plan's land use designation for the subject property as a basis for approving a change in land use designation; 4. The applicant has not cited any erroneous assumptions used in the establishment of the existing land use designation as a basis for a change in land use designation; 5. The applicant cites as a basis for approval of the requested land use change the low intensity of building scale and use proposed by the self storage facility as creating a compatible transition between commercially zoned land to the south and east and the residentially zoned land to the north and west.; 6. The land use policies of the comprehensive plan discourage speculative commercial rezoning and require that expansion of commercial land use designations into residential areas be based upon a plan integrating the existing commercial area and protecting abutting residential areas; 7. Amending the land use designation for the subject lot would not implement the policy cited above unless the applicant's development plans were revised to integrate with the abutting commercially zoned lot to the south of the subject property, which is owned by the applicant, into a larger, unified development;
