is proposing to construct a fueling station on its site. Since the store is within
the Town Center Urban Renewal Area, the Authority is required to determine
whether or not the proposed use is in conformance with the Urban Renewal
Plan.
Following discussion, the Authority determined that the fueling station would
be in conformance with the Urban Renewal Plan. The Authority requested
that two concerns be forwarded to the developer: (l) traffic circulation as it
relates to fuel trucks entering and leaving the property; and (2) employee
parking which will be displaced by the fueling station.
