north and west along Broadway Road.

uses at arterial street intersections and in an area where the General Plan 
Land Use Map has not designated a commercial land use within one mile from 
107th Avenue and Broadway Road.

The proposed Higher Density Residential land use designations will help to 
diversify the housing stock in this area, where single-family houses are the
