The CVS would have a drive-through and be open 24 hours a day. On the property now is a Midas Muffler, which would remain; and two, one-and-a-half-story residences, which would be removed.
According to the plans, to the south and west of the site is an office complex, bank and strip mall. To the south is an area zoned for office and commercial use, and to the east is an unused parking lot.
