The general use and design considerations, including the character, scale, and quality of design are consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and adopted use and design guidelines; 2. The use and architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually compatible with surrounding development and improvements on the site, and design elements (i.e., screening of equipment, exterior lighting, signs, awnings, etc.) have been incorporated to further ensure the compatibility of the structures with the character and uses of adjacent development; 3. The location and configuration of structures are compatible with their site and with surrounding sites and structures, and do not dominate their surroundings to an extent inappropriate to their use; and 4. The use, design and layout of the proposed project will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development, and will not result in vehicular and/or pedestrian hazards. • • Arcadia Redevelopment Agency October 5, 1999 Page 3 ANALYSIS • A.
