CRequire a comprehensive plan amendment
DApprove only the retail component
Explanation
Zoning decisions should be consistent with the comprehensive plan. A mixed-use project (retail + residential) in an area designated for mixed-use development is consistent with the plan and should receive favorable consideration from the municipality.
