The Cranston City Plan Commission recommended that City Council adopt an ordinance amendment (ordinance 12 25 0 2) to allow M2 zoning with site-specific conditions at 0 Plainfield Pike (Assessor's Plat 36-2, Lot 169). Attorney Joseph Brennan presented the proposal and described a plan that preserves the M2 zone while adding narrowly tailored commercial uses (including a Dunkin' Donuts, small retail, and service uses) for this lot. Planning staff reported the proposal is consistent with the vesting comprehensive plan and recommended a positive recommendation to the City Council.

Staff and the applicant described proposed circulation (a double drive-through arrangement, right-turn only exit at one access, easement agreements with adjacent property owners), parking calculations based on proposed uses, and initial DOT coordination for curb cuts. Director Adales moved to adopt the staff findings and forward a positive recommendation to the council; Director Carrero seconded and the commission approved the motion by voice vote.

Next steps: The item now proceeds to the City Council for final legislative action.
