Application to construct a new three-level parking structure. A review of drawings
A1 to A5 dated September 6, 2017 and SP-1 to SP-14 with revision date of September
8, 2017 indicates the proposed construction of a three (3) level parking garage with
above garage solar array and guard booths. The premises are located in the C-O Zone

sensitive and is subject to the regulations of Section 4.4.25. The approving agency for
