accordance with their regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection 
service will be provided to the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, 
local fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required. 
 
g. 
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, 
with the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows the property to 
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, 
subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property 
shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application.  It is, therefore, stipulated 
and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does 
not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess 
the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value 
it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Zone Change.  The Zone 
Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone 
Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the 
property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.
