The Community Growth Map in the Durham 2020 Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1995, shows the requested site as "Suburban Neighborhood" (which includes low-intensity industrial uses). The Future Land Use Map in Durham 2005 Comprehensive Plan (1985) shows the site as suitable for Residential use at greater than six units per acre.

No expansion of the use is proposed. The Zoning Committee of the Durham Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 11, 1997, and voted 7-0 to recommend approval.
