not negatively affect the development or improvement of surrounding properties for
permitted uses in their respective zoning districts.

6. The proposed use, if meeting the current and proposed conditions with this CUP, would
be consistent with the applicable regulations of the Rural Commercial Zoning District.

conditions of the amended CUP in order to meet the general and specific performance
standards of the Development Code.
