“The Office Commercial category is a commercial category designed and
intended for the exclusive use of office and limited office-related activities. It is
established for and will be allocated to those districts best suited for supporting
commercial activity of an office character. It has been established to encourage
and permit general professional and business offices of high quality and
appearance, in attractive landscaped surroundings with the types of uses and
design exterior appearance so controlled as to be generally compatible with
existing and future adjacent and surrounding residential development. Properties
with this designation may serve as a transition between established residential
neighborhoods, major roadways, and retail development. Other suitable activities
are those permitted in the Public Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-Public
categories”.
The applicant’s proposed development complies with the Retail Commercial land
use category, which is defined by the Future Land Use Plan as:
“The Retail Commercial category is a lower- to medium-intensity commercial
category providing for neighborhood-type retail shopping facilities and general
commercial support activities. It is intended to provide limited local retail and/or
office uses which serve neigborhoods in close proximity. It is intended that all
uses in this category will be compatible with adjacent single family uses, thereby
maintaining the character and integrity or existing neighborhoods. This category
is intended to encourage comprehensively planned developments. In areas
where the Retail Commercial designation is adjacent to residentially zoned
properties or areas with a residential designation on the Land Use Plan, lower
intensity activities such as office or office-related uses should be planned
adjacent to the residential uses. Other suitable activities are those permitted in
the Public Parks/Open Space, Public/Semi-Public, and Office Commercial
categories.”
