STAFF PRESENTATION
Mr. Patterson introduced the item, a request to construct a 1-story, 1500 square foot building on a currently vacant lot for use as a martial arts studio. He noted that the subject property was partially located in the 100-year floodplain and would have to follow development guidelines and regulations for developing in that area.
