WHEREAS, the Owner shall and does hereby agree to certain commitments to be placed upon and binding upon the Real Estate; and

WHEREAS, the County, after paying reasonable regard to the Comprehensive Plan, current conditions and the character of current structures and uses in each district, the most desirable use for which the land in each district is adapted, the conservation of property values throughout the jurisdiction; and the responsible development and growth of the county, deems that the petition filed by the Owner should be granted and the zoning classification for the Real Estate be changed under certain and specific terms, conditions, and restrictions, all of which the Owner is agreeable thereto.
