1. That proper posting, publication and public notice was provided as required by law for the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County.
2. That the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners were extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at those hearings.
3. That the proposal, as conditioned below, is in substantial conformance with the North Plains Community Plan because it meets the Plan's recommendations regarding housing, transportation, water and sanitation, wildlife, services, hazards, visual resources, and open space.
4. That the proposed land use is compatible with existing and allowable land uses in the surrounding area in all directions because the proposed lot size and density is similar to the existing lot sizes and density to the north and east.

The North Plains Community Plan recommends a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre for the adjacent property to the west and south. With the extension of public water and sewer services to this area, the surrounding parcels to the west and south have the potential to be subdivided in the future.
5. The subject property is located in the North Table Mountain Water and Sanitation District. The subject property will also be served by Fairmount Fire Protection District.

7. That for the above stated reasons, the applied for rezoning, as conditioned below, is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the residents of Jefferson County.
8. That each of the factors set forth above is adequate independently to support this resolution.
