Following a public hearing, the planning commission may approve a regulating plan and circulation plan, with or without conditions, only if all of the following findings can be made:
A. The regulating plan and circulation plan are consistent with the City’s General Plan.
B. The regulating plan proposes TND designations for the properties at the edge of the regulating plan area which would provide for development that would be compatible with the character of existing and future adjacent uses.
C. The locations of the proposed TND designations will result in the creation of compact neighborhoods with one or more defined centers, or adjacent to an existing center, where the distance between the outer boundary of a neighborhood center and the outer boundary of the neighborhood edge is approximately a quarter mile.
D. The TND designations proposed by the regulating plan are situated in a manner that encourages a mixture of residential and non-residential building types, within a proximity that encourages walking between them, and which promotes a mixture of housing types.
E. The regulating plan has identified open space areas that provide opportunities for public gathering, recreation and/or access to the natural environment such that they are located within a 3-minute walk of 90 percent of the properties which are proposed for development with dwelling units.
F. The circulating plan establishes an interconnected street network that will assist in avoiding traffic congestion by providing for a variety of convenient routes for pedestrians and vehicles, and that complies with the emergency network standards set forth in chapter 19.90.
