two new parcels sharing an east west property line. The new north lot will be

Pharmacy, a type M (mercantile) use. The single story building will be type VB

the Community Culture and Urban Design Elements of the Comprehensive Plan as
well as base zone requirements, have been used to create an aesthetically pleasing,
highly functional project that is compatible with adjacent properties. The proposed
project will contribute to a business environment that is attractive, active and safe;
ensuring that the kind of high quality development expected in Edmonds continues
with this project. We therefore trust that this submittal will be to your satisfaction
