U/C Zone; to the south is the C-M-BE-U/C and Single
Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 10,000 Square Feet
2
(R-1-10,000) Zone; and to tiie west is the Orange
(57) Freeway.
(e) The proposed Development Review is a request to
construct a 20,500 square foot, one story building
to'be`utilized as medical offices/urgent care
facility.
(f), --The design and layout of the proposed development. is
consistent with the applicable elements of the
City's general plan, design guidelines of the

proposed project will yield a pleasant environment
for those working and visiting the medical facility
through its exemplary design, use of materials and
colors, and landscaping which offers a variety of
plant species including approximately 150 trees with
a minimum -20 percent in, 24 inch box and a minimum 80
percent in 15 gallon. The setback from the Valley
Vista Drive is 32.feet and from Bridge Gate Drive is
