Visions for Vacancies: Peter's Home & Garden

Let's call this a modern spin on community planning — Patch's version of a charette, a digital drawing board where all ideas are on the table.

In this series we'll present a vacant commercial property and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?

This week we’re looking at 874 Federal Road, the former home of Peter’s Home & Garden.

Just north of Four Corners, the warehouse and large parking lot are set back from the roadway on 5.4 acres of property. The building has been shuttered for some time but is in a prime location if the Town Center District is redeveloped.

What business would you like to see there? What do you think would best succeed?
