Questions from the virtual audience? I see though he is at this time chair. Planning Commissioner.

Ron Bednar, City Planning. Well, this property is currently indicated for a single-family residential on the city plan, given the site's documented use history and its proximity to public transit nearby. We recommend the Cressor variance be granted.
