house of not more than 640 sq.ft. for the secondary unit or the
conversion of some existing floor area and a small addition. In
no case can the additional living unit be larger. than 640 sq.ft.

safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or

neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
The Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt
