(B) Where the purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to change the zoning classification of particular property, the findings of fact and recommendation shall incur the following information:
(1) Existing use of property within the general area of the property in question;
(2) The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question;
(3) The suitability of the property in question to the permitted uses under the existing zoning classification;
(4) The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question, including changes if any which have taken place since the day the property in question was placed in its present zoning classification; and
(5) The Commission shall not recommend the adoption of a proposed amendment, unless it finds that the adoption of such amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the interest of the applicant. The Commission may recommend the adoption of an amendment changing the zoning classification of the property in question to any higher classification than that requested by the applicant. For the purpose of this division (B)(5), the “SA” District shall be considered the highest classification and the “I-2” District shall be considered the lowest classification.
