The zoning of the site is Business "B-3". The proposed <br />office and retail are permitted uses in a: "B-3" zone. Oirectly to the east of the proposed <br />site is the northwest comer of the Rose Villa Townhome Project. The northwest portion <br />of the intersection, across Lexington, is also a "Business" and "B-3" site alld has a <br />quick-lube station. On the southeast comer, the Kath Oil sites are a mix of single family <br />and business uses. To the southwest, an office building and a veterinary clinic are the <br />uses. Maps are attached. <br /> <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 /> <br />3.3 The Cornerstone Program, when utilized on this site would require (through its <br />guidelines) neighborhood meetings, a pianned unit development hearing, and the <br />possibility of setbacks that are as close as 10 feet to the street property lines. Screening <br />and the choice of materials for the construction are carefully guided. <br /> <br />PF3077 - RCA (04-26-99) - Page 3 of 6 <br />
