Longs Drugstore design denied

Planning Commissioners asked architect Gary Veasy to rework his plans for a Long's Drugstore set for Kings Court Shopping Center.

The commissioners wanted the store's facade made lower and more like the facade of Lunardi's. They also asked for fabric awnings, rather than the copper awnings proposed.

The commissioners said it's important for the new store to reflect the look of the shopping center as well as modern style.

Veasy is expected to return to the Planning Commission July 23.
