It is 2.94 acres in <br />size and known as lot 27A on tax map 26 of Bingham <br />Township. <br />The current zoning is Neighborhood Commercial and <br />Agricultural Residential. The applicant is requesting <br />a designation of Local Commercial. The purpose of an <br />LC--1 district is to allow limited commercial uses <br />designed to serve a population at the rural and <br />neighborhood level with convenience goods and <br />personal services. <br />The surrounding land on the north and west is zoned <br />AR but undeveloped; to the south and east are <br />commercial uses. The area is designated in the <br />Comprehensive Plan as the BH -1 Rural Neighborhood <br />Activity Node. Currently, there is no other LC -1 <br />zoning within the activity node. <br />
