(B) The proposed community care facility would not be located within one mile of an elementary school if a person convicted of a sex offense against a minor pursuant to Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1564 would reside at the community care facility;

(C) The proposed community care facility can be developed and maintained in a manner compatible with surrounding land uses;

(D) Permitting the use would not otherwise be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, subject to the limitations of applicable law.
