Directly south of the DQ was a building (pizza hut, bank etc.) that was demolished and turned into a couple never used Safeway parking spots. You can see the outline of the building in the Google maps photo as the darker part of the parking lot.
An actual business has to be infinitely more appealing than an empty lot, which is what the land owner said would happen if the restaurant is denied.
It's nice to want to have multi-use commercial and residential, high density, pedestrian friendly, amazing idea businesses but it's another to actually get a developer willing to build them.
