Their positive comments include: . The proposal is a cohesive retail unit instead of a series of unrelated stores; A Home Depot at this location may actually reduce cross town tramc ti'om the nearby residential areas to the Home Depot on Johnson Drive; Prefer a Home Depot at this location due to its variety of hardware and contractor materi- als and low prices; and, Will generate sales tax revenue in the City for the City that would otherwise go elsewhere and will pay its impact fees. . . . Their negative comments include: · Tramc irnpacts of the proposed use will aggravate the congestion already on Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue; · This rnay be too large a store for this location; · The proposal requires careful examination; PCUP-165/P DR-529/PMOD-81-25-7M Page 7 of 48 December 13. 2006
