no hands at the sound chair planning commission amy boy with the planning commission the
The Comprehensive Plan recommends no change in zoning at this location from the current
CMX II commercial mixed use.
The Appellant has not demonstrated that there are unique physical conditions or circumstances
of the property that would prevent it from being used in conformance with the zoning
The Planning Commission recommends that the Board deny the requested variances for drug
paraphernalia with 1,000 feet of another regulated use, within 500 feet of a protected use-slash-residences,
and use in the cmx 2.5 zoning district so if i can just comment on that um so again this has been
a retail sales for a long time it's a small shop and these uses are typically common for
this type of sort of overall use the code presents a hardship in and of itself and that it doesn't
allow for this use anywhere. And most places, given the makeup of the city, are near residential
or near another regulated use or near a property line of residential. So you'd really make it that
you could literally have this nowhere in the entire city. I'd also just add that it has support
from the near neighbors and non-opposition from the community group who helped vet the project.
I would say so MI 2025 007381 4369 Crescent Street I vote yes with proviso first floor only
and use limited and by the way I'm going to pretend I know what all this is okay
So first bongs, dab rigs, glass pipe, grinders, pipe screens, tabletop vapes, and water pipe

wow that was something
So here it is, 13. MI-2025-007-411-21-Wolf Street. Ronald Patterson is the attorney.
Mr. Chair, I wanted to let you know that this matter has actually been withdrawn because it was determined with L&I that the property should have been reviewed under a different zoning district
and that the use would be by right under that zoning district so this matter has been withdrawn
all right so why don't we take just a five minute break is that okay and then we'll just come back
and read off what we have and and tanetta you you're the hero of the day because every time
you spoke it got worse i just said we got to get her to stop can we send it i mean
Cheryl was here ready to run in and take over for you, but you kept wanting to do it.
What's wrong with you?
You've got to keep exercising it.
Did you ever think we'd be proofing the drug power?
So it's so okay.
Hmm? It's like a, I don't know, it's like a, it's like a material. It's like hard but sticky. It's kind of like jelly answers if they're wet.
And it comes on paper that's like those candies that you set to like peel off where the paper would be stuck to it.
Now, how you do the drug, I don't know,
but I know that's what the devil is doing.
I think he's got it.
Uptah?
You know what, I'll tell you,
because he's the 13th, he's the 13th.
Somebody might come.
