where proposed and developed, according to the plan as proposed.
3. The conditional uses meet all required conditions and specifications.
4. The location and character of the conditional uses, if developed according to the plan as

land use plan. (It didn't necessarily mean this area was where all these types of development were
located, because at this time, there are none in the vicinity.)
