APPROVED (7-0);subject to Staff Report dated March 17, 2023, and Plan Review Summary No. 2, dated March 17,
2023, and noting applicants willingness to consider providing renderings to City Council showing berms along
Southlake Blvd. as well as an option reducing the parking and moving it back from Southlake Blvd. and including the
finding that while the site has retail commercial designation on the northern end of the site and the medium density
residential land use designation on the southern end, that the commission finds the proposed used as is consistent
with a land use plan and the entire site is currently his zoned “C-2” General Commercial District as well as the
proposed zoning is further aligned with a land use plan, as the area with medium density residential designation will
primarily be used for the cultivation of plants, storage of landscape supplies as well as open space.
