What's Around A Mall

As an advisor to the County Zoning Board, you have been asked to help the Board anticipate the consequences of the construction of the COUNTRY OAKS SHOPPING MALL on what is now 50 acres of farmland located about 1 mile from a city of nearly 70,000 people. The Board specifically wants to know what kinds of requests it will receive for re-zoning the adjacent farmland.

In the space below, write a report predicting the kinds of activities that are likely to seek location near the mall. Provide good reasons to support your predictions.
