seconded to approve the conditional use permit based upon the
Hearing Examiner's Findings of Fact, Conclusions, and Conditions
and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
ordinance.
In response to questions from Councilmember Cerino, Community
Development Administrator Osaki explained that under the
conditional use process the Hearing Examiner evaluates whether
the use would be appropriate for the location. The conditional use
