III. ANALYSIS

review the proposal against one set of criteria, for the

Code) that are required to be addressed, followed by
staff’s analysis of each criterion.

Comprehensive Plan.
Commercial designation allows Community Business Center zoning.

on Grand Loop Rd.

public emergency services, schools, and parks and recreational services.
