It was discussed that the corner would be appropriately zone�i for a comnercial-retail use. The Conmission's discussion reached a consensus that a convenience store would most appropriately be allowed as a conditional use of the Light Industrial District; and Adrienne Leonard explained the conditional use permitting process to Mrs. Willet.
