WHEREAS, the CMP envisions that development, where it occurs in the rural

systems, roadway design and maintenance, environmental conditions, including wetlands, trees,
and other natural resources, all of which have been developed to further the City's CMP vision
of environmental protection and rural development patterns; and

appears to be the most viable, appropriate, and realistic alternative, and is most consistent with
surrounding land uses; and
