The Zoning Administrator hereby finds the following:

number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal
and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of the use.

04517, subject to the following conditions:
1. That plans shall be submitted to the City Traffic and Transportation Manager for review and approval
