� � approval. Mr. Paschke advised that designating this parcel as B-3 was consistent with other properties to the north, and was not to be unique and consistent with the pending 2030 Comprehensive Plan designation and guidance, and applicable uses as permitted. Discussion included the process for future development and notice to the neighbors related to any redevelopment in the area in order to express their views related to access onto Wewers Road, recognizing that this is a major safety concern for the neighborhood; with staff addressing potential processes, depending on the type of redevelopment and pernutted uses; and mitigations applied to future development to address various issues. At the request of Commissioner Gisselquist, Mr. Paschke reviewed the background of this parcel, as well as those adjoining parcels; noting that the property directly north had been guided business since pre-1998 (parcel #2587), and was shown on the "inconsistency" map but never zoned accordingly. Mr. Paschke noted that state law changed in the late 1990's related to Comprehensive Plans and zoning consistencies, and may have been part of the reason that this area had not been addressed, similar to other areas throughout the City also needing to be addressed once the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted. Further discussion included identification of adjacent park land, with zoning as R- 1, but designated as park land. Applicant Representative John Kohler, Architect with Semper Development, Ltd. Mr. Kohler addressed questions of the Commission related to lack of a development at this time; pending Purchase Agreement for the parcels from Wewers Road to County Road C; process in place for redevelopment of the hardware store and Walgreen's site; support of the owner for this application; and inclusion of the neighbor comments in any future development proposals. Mr. Kohler advised that his firm was more than willing to consider concerns of the neighborhood; however, noted that depending on who redeveloped the property, the may end up selling the property and not doing the actual redevelopment. Mr. Kohler noted that they had designated shared access on the south side of Walgreen's to be used on this parcel, accessing Rice Street, as the property line splits shared access. Public Comment
