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.
