The DO allows for demolishing of the existing building on site, the complete development of lots 2 and 4 as described above, and the placing of ‘pad-ready’ sites on lots 1 and 3 of the project for future redevelopment. The remaining two tenant spaces, situated on 4835 and 4875 East Bay Drive (Lots 1 and 3) will house a drive thru restaurant and financial institution and will require additional site plan review and will be developed separately after phase I of the project is completed.
