Recommendation
Motion to approve the waiver request to reduce the minimum floor area for a gasoline station with convenience mart on Tract C from 6,000 square feet to 2,538 square feet by finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations Section 2.4.7(B)(5).

The approved shopping center included commercial space, a restaurant, a bank and a gasoline service station. Although, some site modifications have been completed within the shopping center, the same uses are still in existence.
