The Council finds that the City's general plan is designed, as it must be, to <br />accommodate a wide range of competing interests -including those of <br />developers, neighborhoods and homeowners, prospective homebuyers, <br />environmentalists, current and prospective business owners, jobseekers, <br />taxpayers, and providers and recipients of all types of city-provided <br />services -and to present a clear and comprehensive set of principles to <br />guide development decisions. The City's general plan sets forth these <br />guiding principles. Once in place, it is the province of this Council to <br />examine the specifics of a proposed project to determine whether it would <br />be in harmony with the policies stated in the general plan. <br />Resolution No. 2009-XXX <br />Page 2 of 4 75A-64 <br />
