the economic/employment base of the city, while ensuring compatible
integration with non-industrial uses, in a manner consistent with
the general plan;
3.
Provide
adequate space to meet the needs of commercial and industrial development,
including off-street parking and loading;
4.
Minimize
traffic congestion and avoid the overloading of utilities;
5.

high standards of site planning, desert architecture and landscape
design for commercial and industrial developments within the city.
