<br />1. <br /> <br />The Growth Management Plans Goals and Policies states <br />that commercial development should be located to <br />strengthen the downtown area and strip or scattered <br />commercial along major roadways should be avoided. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />2. The Focus Area Study has set the foundation for a <br />business park concept along with supporting <br />commercial (not highway business) activity.
