Commissioner Arcand asked if the CUP would apply to the property at 5725 148t' Street. Chair Kleissler confirmed that the CUP would apply to the property at 5725 148a' Street. Commissioner Luchsinger requested to know who will be deciding an expansion in parking spaces for the property.

Therefore, the City would be determining if additional parking is needed for the property. Commissioner Fry asked why the CUP is for wholesale only. Juba responds by stating that staff catered to CUP to allow wholesale and retail.
