that the proposed street layout conforms to the adopted General Plan
of the City of South San Francisco, and to the street standards
embodied in the Subdivision Ordinance thereof. The said layout is
also consonant with the "Proposed Specific Plan of Plan the
Extension of Utah Avenue and Kimball Way."

posed street layout conforms to the adopted General Plan."
