Alternative Site Considerations?

These past alternative site considerations for the project are found on salemcitizens.org.  Site 'A' is the Transfer Station, which is now proposed to become a new sewage trash dump.  Not sure how old these drawings are, or why Home Depot and Target is pin pointed on here?  Although, it can be seen, that the areal in the drawing is at least taken from the year 2007 or earlier, because the roadway for Apple Hills is not present.

The following drawing indicates the City of Salem zoning for the areas in pink to be BPD.  Were these drawings created before the 'text ammendment' zoning change of BPD to BPD+PUD?  As it appears, can a retailer call for a "Selected Site" on a BPD zone?  

From a statement made in the Salem Public Hearing on Sept. 3, 2008, between Salem Council and the Planning Board, it states - "The catalyst for this ordinance amendment was the talk for the development of Camp Lion and Walmart. No Plans have been submitted as of yet." (?)
