Plan: 
The 2020 General Plan designates this area as part of The

The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to a 
recently granted Conditional Use Permit for a Multi-Family Dwelling 
Development located southeast of the Greenway Road and

dwelling units on January 23, 2020 and is now requesting an 
additional 14 dwelling units to be constructed above seven (7) 
garage buildings. Each building garage will have two dwelling 
units. Per Zoning Code ยง154.155 PROCEDURE FOR CONDITIONAL 
USE PERMIT, (G), the applicant may request an amendment to the 
Conditional Use Permit for modifications and enlargement of 
structures not mentioned in the original Conditional Use Permit.
