3. Are the assumptions upon which the land use designation of the subject property is based erroneous, or is new information available which was not considered at the time the Land Use Element was adopted, that justify a change to the land use designation? If so, the erroneous assumptions or new information should be described in detail to enable the Planning Commission and City Council to find that the land use designation should be changed. 4. Does the proposed land use designation promote a more desirable land use pattern for the community as a whole? If so, a detailed description of the qualities of the proposed land use designation that make the land use pattern for the community more desirable should be provided to enable the Planning Commission and City Council to find that the proposed land use designation is in the community's best interest. 5.

If not, the reasons for changing the land use designation of a single site, as requested by the proponent, should be provided in sufficient detail to enable the Planning Commission and City Council to find that approval as requested does not constitute a grant of special privilege to the proponent or a single owner of property. 6.

If so, would the change of land use designation for other properties be in the best long-term interests of the community in general? 4. The proposal is a site-specific amendment of the zoning map.
