GC-MD-2 (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling-2) District.
The property is located at the northwest corner of Dowlen and
Delaware Extension.
The subject property consists of 1.327 acres in which approximately

ft. store and another 20,400 sq. ft. of retail space is in GC-MD
zoning.
The subject property will be screened from properties to the west with
