241 July 26: 1977 The Boundary and Acquisition exhibit is being revised to redesignate a portion of the property of the Seawall Inn from "Not-To-Be Acquired" to "To-Be~Acquired". This small strip of property will be needed in conjunction with the proposed reconstruction of the Water Street right-of-way. The propsoed use of a portion Of land between the Holiday Inn and the Citizens Trust Bank Building has been redesignated from "Commercial" to 'Public Facilities and Open Space" to reflect the construction of the North Harbor and a parking facility in this area. The prope~ed use of the surface parking lot of the existing Citizens Trust Bank Building is being redesignated from "Commercial" to "Public Parking and Commercial" to reflect the proposed private and public uses to be developed on air rights over this existing lot. 5, The proposed use of the area generally between the Seawall Inn and the southern project boundary east of Water Street is being redesignated from "Public" to "Commercial". Accordingly, the redevelopment plan narrative is being revised to permit a multi-use complex o~ ~esidential, commercial, office and governmental uses in this area as en- visioned by the Crawford Harbor Plan. The proposed land uses for the Crawford Project in District A are also being revised to reflect the closure and realignment of several existing rights-of-way in the area in accordance with the new uses envisioned in the Crawford Ha~bor Ptan. The most significant of these is the proposed widening and realignment of the Water Street right-of-way. District B The Boundary and Acquisition exhibit is being revised to redesignate two parcels of land in the southern portion of the Froject from "To-Be-Acquired" to "Not-To-Be-Acquired" since these sites will be needed for the construction of the second tunnel in Norfolk. The land use of this property, aportion of which was previously included in the South- side II light-industrial area, is also being revised from commercial to light-industrial to reflect its current proposed use. o The designation of parcel numbers and lot lines of proposed development sites has been eliminated from the land use plan in order to facilitate the combining of lots as re- quired from time to time for marketing purposes.'
