The proposal for a � <br /> . Walgreens and a strip retail center by Reliance Development Company in 2003-2004 was not in� <br /> conformity�vith the Comprehensive Plan since it included freestanding retail not specifically associated � <br /> or supportive of an office use on the site. The proposed Walgreens and the office/retail building were <br /> characterized more accurately as neighborhood retaiUservice uses. After public hearings and substantial <br /> consideration by the Planriing Conmiission ai�d City Council, and after receiving Meho�olitan Council � <br /> a�proval,the City Council adopted in 2004 Resolution No. 5190,Amendment#2 to the 2000-2020 CMP. � <br /> The aniendment reguided Outlot A to allow for retail uses under the following parameters: <br /> l.
