F. The Council finds that the City's general plan is designed, as it must be, to accommodate a wide range of competing interests -including those of developers, neighborhoods and homeowners, prospective homebuyers, environmentalists, current and prospective business owners, jobseekers, taxpayers, and providers and recipients of all types of city-provided services -and to present a clear and comprehensive set of principles to guide development decisions. The City's general plan sets forth these guiding principles. Once in place, it is the province of this Council to examine the specifics of a proposed project to determine whether it would be in harmony with the policies stated in the general plan. G. The City Council has weighed and balanced the general plan's policies, both new and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that the Transit Zoning Code is consistent with the purpose of the general plan. H.
