The applicants have submitted a site plan that identifies the specific location, and which has more than adequate parking due to the more evening - oriented activities of the principal occupant of the property.

With the submission of some additional clarifying information, the applicants have selected a site that should suit its purpose and meet the intent of the ordinance under consideration.
