APPROVE the development plan for an approximate 5,700 square foot expansion of this existing event facility, subject to 4 conditions.Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the development plan for an approximate 5,700 square foot expansion of this existing event facility, subject to 4 conditions.1.

4. Installation of landscaping as shown on the landscape plan (sheet LA1).
With conditions noted above, this request meets the requirements of the former PC-1 zone (current zoning OP/PD), the previously approved development plan, and the other criteria for approval of a special use for modifications to previously approved planned districts per Article 1.4.G.
What's next?
