(a) the consistency of the plan with the public health, safety, and welfare;
(b) the technical feasibility of implementation of the plan;
(c) the effectiveness with which the plan minimizes the impact of any curtailment;
(d) the needs of commercial, agricultural, retail, professional, and service establishments whose normal function is to supply goods or services, or both, of an essential nature, including but not limited to food, lodging, fuel, and medical care facilities; and
