Adding parking in front of the security gate to allow for the gate to remain closed. <br />b. Adding landscaping in the area of the new parking. <br />The applicant notes that the security fencing on the rear portion of the property is not <br />required by ordinance, and would like to be able to move or rearrange fencing without <br />the requirement that a new CUP be issues. <br />Outdoor storage is now allowed by CUP under a revised ordinance. The requirements <br />for the permit are as follows (staff comments inserted in italics): <br />G. Open and Outdoor Storage as an accessory use, provided that: <br />
