The comp plan is in the process of <br /> being updated, although the proposed land use designation for this area would remain the same. <br /> Either the present B-2 zoning or the R-4 zoning would be consistent with this designation. The <br /> present zoning of the parcel, which is across the street from Silver View Park and the Silver Lake <br /> Woods townhome development, would allow a commercial use with related traffic flows to <br />
