(c) This amendment does not conflict with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and will provide for development, within the district, in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development, but land use incompatibilities may result on the east portion of Subarea 6 because this area is adjacent to significant transportation facilities; and (d) This amendment does promote the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element; and (e) This amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor on the surrounding properties, but land use incompatibilities may result for the east portion of Subarea 6. 3.
