This application is intended to bring the property into City of Mesquite, Texas Page 8 City Council Minutes - Final July 19, 2021 conformance.

In this case, some of the buildings are three feet apart. The Fire Marshall has reviewed the application and has given his approval, largely due to the fact that all of the buildings are fire sprinkled. He stated that the Planning and Zoning recommends approval.
