range and maximum allowable density of 90 dwelling units per acre for the District Center and Metro East District designations. This residential use will complement the signature land uses (commercial, office, and recreational) in the District Center areas by providing patrons and employees who will be residents of the Project's dwelling units in an urban village type setting. Policy 1.5: Maintain and foster a variety of residential land uses in the City. The proposed Project will provide higher density residential development in the City's urban core areas added to existing lower density residential uses along the eastern and northern areas of the City. Goal 2: Promote land uses which enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. Policy 2.7: Support projects that contribute to the redevelopment and revitalization of the central City urban areas. Both the District Center and East Metro District allow for uses which will generate new growth and an enhanced tax base for the City which will revitalize the City's urban core areas. Redevelopment of an existing property with a new residential use will be a component of revitalizing an area planned for compatible mixed uses. Policy 2.10: Support new development which is harmonious in scale and character with existing development in the area. Both the District Center and the East Metro District envision the type of higher density residential use proposed by the Project which would be at the same scale and character as future high intensity urban core commercial, office, and recreational uses. Goal 5: Ensure that the impacts of development are mitigated. Policy 5.1: Promote development which has a net community benefit, and enhances the quality of life. Policy 5.4: Support land uses which are consistent with the Land Use Plan of the Land Use Element. The proposed Project consists of higher density residential units as envisioned by the Land Use Element for the City's District Center and East Metro District areas. By providing a land use which is consistent with both land use designations, the proposed Project would provide a community benefit, thereby enhancing the area's quality of life.
