Good evening. I'm Ashley Moncado with the Planning Department. Before we start <br /> 37 with the first item, I just want to do a quick review since we have two conditional rezoning <br /> 38 applications in front of you tonight. As some of you may be aware, a conditional rezoning <br /> 39 application is different than a conventional in that it allows for one specific use to be identified, <br /> 40 discussed,and reviewed. Conditional rezonings allow for appropriate and agreed upon conditions <br /> 41 to be placed on the project.

This action resulted in Cedar Ridge High School becoming <br /> 52 a legal, non-conforming use. A legal non-conforming use is allowed to continue operations. <br /> 53 However, it is not allowed to expand. As a result,the proposed pole barn could not be approved <br /> 54 as an accessory structure without first correcting the legal non-conforming status of the existing <br /> 55 school site and land use. Approval of the proposed zoning atlas amendments will bring this <br />
