Designating the Property Commercial is in furtherance of the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. 3. Zoning the Property Commercial — Retail and Office (Co), is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan, and is in furtherance of the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. 4.
