the health, safety and general welfare of the Town;
e
The proposed land use will not cause a nuisance or adversely
affect the orderly development of property along Diablo Road
or the community. The use is compatible with the
institutional uses located across Diablo Road.
The proposed land use permit is consistent with and
encouraged in the Danville General Plan Goals and Policies.
The proposed land use permit is consistent with the
provisions of the draft General Plan which supports the
location of these land uses in residential areas when safe

semi-public uses in this immediate area and similar uses
should be considered only in other locations.
