building additions in 1999 and 2018. The proposed addition will include a 3,828 square foot, two
level expansion on the southeast side of the existing building. The addition requires an
amendment to Conditional Use Permit 18-10 and 99-01 subject to the performance standards
outlined in the C-3, General Commercial District. Section 11-73-7.B of the Zoning Ordinance
