February ]2, 2002 Indykiewicz Reuse Memo Page 2 of3 . The Gateway Business Zoning District also allows multiple family residential, hotel/motel, and multiple use operations as special uses within the District. Chesapeake Companies Letter of Interest In a letter dated January 16, 2002 addressed to the City Accountant, Chesapeake Companies submitted a letter of interest to develop the remnant parcel. In doing so, they identified the following uses: . Business Service . Clinic . Day Care Facility . Personal Service . Restaurant - Sit-down . Restaurant - Fast Food with drive-through . Restaurant - Deli, coffee, bagel and take- out food outlets, etc. . . . Retail Sales and Service . Service Station - Convenience store with gas and car wash . Studio . Drive-in Business . Drug Store with drive-through . Dry Cleaning & Laundry Pick Up Station . Financial Institution and Service . Office . Staff Recommendation With limited historical perspective regarding previous discussions regarding the use of this property, staff would recommend the uses outlined below for the reuse of the remnant parcel: . Business Service . Office . Clinic . Personal Service . Day Care Facility . Restaurant - Sit-down Drug Store with drive-through . Restaurant - Deli, coffee, bagel and take- . out food outlets, etc. . . . Dry Cleaning . Retail Sales and Service . Financial Institution and Service . Studio The above recommendation leaves out three uses identified in the Chesapeake proposal including a fast food restaurant; service station / convenience store with gas and car wash; and drive in businesses. While the aforementioned three uses would be very easy to market and yield the highest return on investment from the City's perspective, it is uncertain whether they represent the highest and best use of the property. Any additional comment Council has with regard to this issue would be greatly appreciated. Finally, if Chesapeake is not amenable to a revision in uses, staff would seek authorization to a begin marketing the property consistent with the acceptable uses identified by the Council and ... information obtained from the appraisal.
