This use, at the corner of the busiest intersection within the City, an intersection at <br />which three of the four corners are already developed with high-intensity commercial uses, would <br />not be an intensive use and would act as a good transition into the adjoining neighborhood. <br />Because the City will be presented with similar redevelopment proposals at other locations within <br />the corridor, a policy should be drafted which w�uld address commercial encroachment into <br />residential areas. This policy would be incorporated into the City's comprehensive plan update, <br />which will be completed this year. <br />Recommend�tion: <br />Staff recommends approving Planning Commission Resolution 536-98, a resolution <br />recommending that the City Council approve a comprehensive plan amendment to change <br />the designations of the properties located at 2625 Highway 10 and 7715-7761 Eastwood <br />Road to NC, Neighborhood Commercial, to allow for the construction of a Walgreens <br />Drug Store. <br />2. Staffrecommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 538-98, a resolution <br />recommending approval of Ordinance No. 614, an ordinance amending the City's official <br />zoning map by rezoning the properties located at 2625 Highway 10 and 7715-7761 <br />Eastwood Road to a B-2, Limi.ted Business District classification. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
