District for a requested maximum time limit of three (3) years, to be known as Alan's Auto Sales.
(SUP -2017-006) Juan Enriquez, PIanner
Enriquez presented the application. The application had currently been seen by the Commission

year limit of the Permit. Second by Fuller.

to address the issues of what is being developed in certain areas. Brashear suggested that a
Comprehensive PIan Amendment would have been more appropriate for this application.

Jones -Meyer, Planner

numbers will eventually be added to the city's web site so that developers can predict how long

all-time highs in the number of monthly applications and resubmittals that are being submitted.
