The zoning of the site is Business "B-3". The proposed <br /> office and retail are permitted uses in a "B-3" zone.

The northwest portion <br /> of the intersection, across Lexington, is also a "Business" and "B-3" site and has a <br /> quick-lute station.

Maps are attacbed. <br /> 3.2. The City's Comprehensive Plan text currently does not specifically address any of these <br /> parcels. However, the policies within the plan provide direction to eliminate blight, <br /> upgrade neighborhoods with a mix of compatible uses, and diversify and solidify the tax <br /> base. <br /> 3.3 The Cornerstone Program, when utilized on this site would rewire (through its <br /> guidelines) neighborhood meetings, a planned unit development hearing, and the <br /> possibility of setbacks that are as close as 10 feet to the street property lines.
