The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent with the
general plan, development standards of the applicable district, design
guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas,

plans, boulevards or planned developments.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the
use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and will not

ownership of single-family housing and require that new development be
compatible with the prevailing character of the surrounding neighborhood." The
subject property is not located within a specific plan area.

Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed project is required to
comply with all conditions within the approved resolution, and the Building and
Safety Division and Public Works Departments, and Los Angeles County Fire
