The property is owned by J-Jay Properties (Complete Home Concepts) and the property is located primarily to the south of the new Complete Home Concepts now there. The present Unified development Ordinance (UDO) code states that the GP District shall be a holding district and no development shall occur within the GP District, so the property must be rezoned to an appropriate district. The proposed plan entails 3 buildings; 2 on Lot 2A oriented towazds Belgian Blvd. and 1 on Lot 3A oriented towazds 43rd Street. The buildings on Lot 2A aze both approximately 100,000 s. f. and are anticipated to be divided into several condo units.

Lot 3A will have duect access to 43`d Street by 2 access points. The site layout will allow for circular traffic flow and vehicular access to nearly all sides of the buildings.
