The site is designated “Retail Commercial”
Purpose and Definition
The Retail Commercial category is a lower-
to medium-intensity commercial category

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.
