This ordinance approves a small-scale amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Community/General Commercial (CGC) for 1.22 acres located on McDuff Avenue North between Lowell Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue. The change allows for commercial development in an area previously designated for residential use, providing more flexibility for future business and retail spaces.
This decision is important as it shifts a residential area into a commercial zone, potentially increasing business opportunities and contributing to local economic development. It opens up new commercial use possibilities in a key location.
