The requested land use and zoning request is appropriate for the property and surrounding area, as “Medium Density Residential” would serve as a buffer between low density residential and more intense land uses, such as commercial and industrial.
ALTERNATIVES:

2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
