From the ordinance
The Planning Commission may approve a Site Plan Review for development upon making the following findings: The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable specific plans and the intent and purpose of the base zone. The proposed development, as conditioned, will not have substantial adverse effects on the surrounding property or uses, and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area. The proposed development is appropriate for the site and location. In mixed-use zones, the proposed development fosters a mixture of variety of land uses within the zone and the general vicinity and contributes to a synergistic relationship between uses. Buildings within a mixed-use development project must be compatible with each other and be designed as an integrated, unified project. All proposed development must meet the design standards and guidelines in Section 19.120.070 (Design Standards and Guidelines).
