Hill, Zoning Administrator PUBLIC HEARING FOR AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE #294 - INCREASE HOURS OF OPERATION AND ALLOW COOKING OF MEAT ON PREMISES FOR CARRY-OUT RESTAURANT USE. 6985 OLIVE Chairperson Kreishman informed those present that the Plan Commission had scheduled the public hearing on an application from Roderick and Virginia Bell for an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit #294 for 6985 Olive in order to increase their hours of operation and to allow cooking of meat on premises at "U-City BBQ."
