Application for a Use Permit pursuant to Article 13, Section 4.H, “Neighborhood Commercial District;” and Article 30 Sections 2.2.M and 7, “Off-Street Parking and Loading.” The application is for a new grocery store (Whole Foods) including outside uses and a shared parking/loading zone at an existing grocery store site (formerly Albertson’s and previously Lucky’s) located in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) Zoning District.
