Discussion The request would provide opportunities for a small medical office with some supportive uses to establish itself in an area that is already serviced by a good transportation system. Relatedly,all required infrastructure is there or, if not and/or needed,will be provided by the Applicant without taxing government's servicing ability. Further,the area is located proximate to residential, commercial,and business areas, making the site accessible to these uses. Further,because of the types of use (medical and general office)and its small-scaled nature,the requested project should be consistent with the evolving land use pattern in this area, while making it convenient for the region and surrounding neighborhoods. 2.
