The granting of this application is <br />also consistent with Policies 5.1 and 5.5 of the Land <br />Use Element of the General Plan, which encourage <br />projects that are compatible with surrounding land <br />uses. The project's proximity to multi-family <br />residential properties to the north is mitigated by a 6- <br />foot-high block wall, a secured gate, and the absence <br />of parking at the rear of the store that would abut <br />neighboring residences. <br />E.
