Updating the Land Use Plan designation of this tract should be considered a housekeeping item, not a significant change to the Plan. How does the requested land use designation further the goals and objectives of the City of College Station Comprehensive Plan?

Current Land Use Plan designation: Institutional, Low Density Single Family Requested Land Use Plan designation: Neighborhood Retail Explain the reason for this Land Use Plan amendment: Identify what conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use plan designation: Explain why the requested land use designation is more appropriate than the existing designation.
