any possible significant adverse effect and help to alleviate any adverse environmental
factors already existing on the site.

tion with the County Clerk.

substantial conflict with the General Plan in that the present and proposed use will continue

developed for its present purposes.

buildings or structures.

in shape and can be used efficiently. The site contains sufficient open space so as to
accommodate all necessary parking, loading, unloading, storage or equipment and material
as may be necessary for utilization of the site for the purposes of the Special Use Permit.
There is parking space for approximately 24 vehicles around the office building plus
additional open space which will accommodate additional vehicles. There isnot less

the site with the surrounding neighborhood.
6) The site is served by Main Street and 228th Street, both of which
