The Commission expressed concern over the traffic in the area and recommended the Council deny the project due to the impacts the increased traffic would have on the surrounding area/community, the safety concerns to pedestrians near the school, the lot size incompatibility with the surrounding rural lots, and because the benefits/amenities proposed by the project does not offset the impacts to the surrounding community.
