stated "The applicant comply with all applicable requirements in the
Unified Development Code", Commissioner West seconded.
Commissioner Diggs asked if comment # 4 " the applicant will be required
to comply with all requirements in the Unified Development Code
pertaining to the development of this site", then why does the commission
need to stipulate this. Assistant City Attorney Doan stated that it does not,
nor does it need to be stated because it is in the Unified Development
Code. Staff has requested this be stated because if a site plan is
attached, there may be confusion that the site plan may be approved and
not be up to code as stipulated in the Unified Development Code.
Vice -Chairperson Greiner amended the motion to strike the comment in
regards to comply with all applicable requirements in the Unified
Development Code to approval of a conditional use permit does not imply
or mean acceptance of any documentation that was furnished with the

motion.
