master plan or specific plan provisions, improvement standards, and
other applicable standards and regulations adopted by the city;
C. The
proposed project will not create conflicts with vehicular, bicycle,
or pedestrian transportation modes of circulation;
D. The
site layout (orientation and placement of buildings and parking areas),
as well as the landscaping, lighting, and other development features,
is compatible with and complements the existing surrounding environment
and ultimate character of the area under the general plan; and
E. The
proposed architecture, including character, scale, and quality of
the design, relationship with the site and other buildings, building
materials, colors, screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting
and signing, and similar elements, establishes a clear design concept
