The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following

Douglas Bicknell, representing Hickman Consulting Engineers,
Inc., has made a request for an amended specific use permit

Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District. The
property is located at 3175 S. Major Drive.

as a gymnasium or a support building for church sponsored
activities. An additional driveway will also be added on the
south side of the lot to provide better access for both church
members and fire trucks.
Exhibits are attached.
