Mr. Billingsley pointed out that item B states if the use is expanded it must still meet the minimum parking requirements.
Commissioner Tollman asked Mr. Billingsley to explain item E on page 3.
Mr. Billingsley explained item E concerning parking not being permitted beyond the front wall of the building unless approved by a special use permit.
Commissioner Tollman asked if it would require more space to build new buildings now because of the new parking lot requirements.
Mr. Billingsley stated that it would require more lot space and that he feels that it just looks more professional without parking in the front.
