exchanged land, or other considerations that may become part of the sale or
lease agreement.

potential impact of the project on City utilities and other infrastructure

improvements. Should it become apparent that further evaluation of traffic

impact analysis from a reputable traffic engineer.

goals and objectives and' conforms to the City
comprehensive plan.

positive or negative impacts such as diminution of open
space, increased traffic, noise level or enhanced property
