            A.   Findings of Fact / City Manager Bob Seitz

The only thing we are considering tonight is whether to allow the business to move down and across the street from its original address. There is nothing against the code by making the move. Nothing in the community was determined to be a negative. There are positives with the move as they will now have a green space and eliminating a couple of eye sores.

Recommend is in favor of Amended Special Use Applicant from Bridge City Collective.
