District. The property is located at 3522 Washington.
In November, 1999, City Council approved a specific use permit

allow for an expansion. That expansion was never built.
Proctor Mortuary would now like add an additional 1,560 sq.

space. In addition, the original parking layout and traffic
circulation pattern will be reconfigured.
