based on the findings and conditions in the Planning Commission staff report.

finding that the subdivision as proposed would change the character and symmetry of
the Rolling Green neighborhood, and in particular based on changes to the character
and symmetry that would occur as the result of new house placement in close
proximity to existing homes.
