zoning, as you branch out into the more single residence areas.<br />

Here, although we do have mixed uses, there are multifamily<br />

dwellings that are approved by special permit across the street on Beaman<br />

occupation at the corner that you see there, the two lots over from the<br />

hashmark lot, I think that’s Old County Road – yes, 40 and 50. So, we<br />

have a very well- established mixed use neighborhood.<br />

Some might claim this is spot zoning; I don’t think it is. I<br />

mean, clearly spot zoning is when you have a unique request, for example<br />

a business property within – solely within a residential neighborhood. This<br />

property compliments and is consistent with the zoning that’s already<br />
