The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. <br /> The original conditional use permit states"The hours of operation of the facility shall be , <br /> 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m."which conforms to this criteria. <br /> Provisions Not Applicable to This Proposal <br /> h.
