[Commercial] Retail and service uses other than those already in existence should not be allowed to stray into these residential enclaves and detract from the character which is being sought." RESOLUTION NO. 83 -130 At page 163: RECOMMENDED CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVE Land Uses The recommended Conceptual Alternative for the continued evolution of the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor recognizes the constraints which certain existing developments have placed upon the City's options for change within the corridor. Working within these parameters, the Recommended Conceptual Alternative attempts to strike a reasonable balance between the status quo shown in conceptual Alternative A and the close -to -ideal situation portrayed by Conceptual Alternative C. This option was designed with the following objectives in mind: to contain [commercial] retail and service land uses within clearly defined sectors of the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor; propose means of preventing the evolution of a "strip" of retail and service businesses from State Highway (TH) 100 to the northern City Boundary 1 RESOLUTION NO. 83 -1 At page'93: TABLE 14 Land Use Plan Revisions Location Number Recommended -Land Use Ia.
