No other members of the public indicated a desire to speak, so the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. Mr. Salter stated that on-street parking will not be an issue, he will require that all employees park off-street in the parking lot. Mr. Price stated that traffic commission should be informed. Mr. Goldman suggested that a condition be added to require employees to park off-street. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission supports the conclusion that the proposed conditional use: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) At the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) Complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) Will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in the Zoning Code.

Chain link fencing shall be maintained around the north, west and south property lines. 2.At least 20 parking spaces shall be maintained in the parking areas east of the building. 3.Existing driveways, loading areas and refuse enclosures shall be maintained, and parking shall be strictly prohibited on the driveways. 4.Meyer and Watts Avenues shall remain closed-off from the site by chain link gates arranged to permit Fire Department emergency access to paved driveways on the site. 5.Fire hydrants shall be installed where directed by the Fire Marshal. 6.The project shall be operated and maintained in accordance with a detailed maintenance plan and schedule submitted to and approved by the City Manager prior to the issuance of the occupancy permit for the new wing. m-9-24.plc
