Plan Consistency Statement:  The requested rezoning is consistent with the future land use set forth in Shaping Our Future: 2033. The future land use portion of Shaping Our Future: 2033 discusses the importance of allowing neighborhood commercial areas at key intersections throughout the City's jurisdiction and specifically identifies the intersection of Richmond Road, Roberdel Road, and Old Aberdeen Road as one such key intersection.
