CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of part of one parcel developed with commercial retail in the CPD, Commercial Planner Development District.

The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Mixed Use 1 and Mixed Use 2” uses at this location.
