The applicant has submitted information in your packet regarding the hours of operation and the
expected number of students. Shopping Centers are designed for a mix of uses that have varying
parking requirements and hours of operation. This use should not be detrimental to the existing
situation as it is no more intense than other intense uses that are allowed by right in any shopping
center. Staff recommends approval.
