Walters seconded the motion. Best questioned how 23 .3 e) was satisfied by the project . He suggested the proposal was a "clone" of the area to the north. Yuhasz noted the comprehensive plan has designated this area as an activity node where such uses are expected and allowed. Best felt the PD section allows us to look at these uses and that the project did not carry out the purpose of the Land Use Plan. Walters suggested that availability of urban utilities, roads , schools and services does suggest the project complies with the Land Use Plan and was an alternative to the destruction of rural natural resources. Best expressed concern with redundant uses. Walters noted that an importance difference is that homes would be within walking distance of the commercial area. Best suggested it would serve as a magnet and that there was already a Pantry store immediately across St . Mary' s Road from Scotswood. Shanklin responded this would mean less traffic off-site on US 70.
