Neighborhood Organization Recommendation
The District 1 Planning Council submitted a letter stating their Land Use Committee recommends a gate be installed at the entrances to the lot rather than using vehicles to block those entrances when the establishment is closed, and requests the following additional conditions be added:
The lights at the site be directed toward the building and shaded from neighboring properties.
Fencing and visual screening be added so that it surrounds the north, east and south sides of the property, especially along the eastern ninety (90) feet of the property to shield neighbors from commercial activities.
