for approval:
1. The property is located in an area of mixed uses on an arterial roadway.

through and pick-up lane customers.
4. The proposed conditions of approval are intended to mitigate additional impacts, whether
immediate or future.
5. The proposed business use, as reconfigured, constitutes a reasonable use of the property.
6. The proposed uses, constructed and operated within the requirements of the Code and the

support dine -in and employee parking on the site.
