To the south lies a lake zoned AG which buffers the tract from residential property, The Comprehensive Plan recommends medium intensity office or commercial land use for the tract. The lot would meet bulk and. area requirements for CS districts with the exception of lot frontage abutting an arterial street. CS districts require 150' frontage; the subject tract is 110' wide.
