Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Plain Commission ARB for March 30th. If you have any electronic gadgets, please silence them at this time. Ryan? Steve Lichtenfeld? Here. Helen DiFate? Here. Jim Arsenault? Here. Chris Brennan? Here. Jeff Morrisey? Susan Buse? Here. Okay, we have meetings from the previous meeting on March 16th. Are there any changes? Seeing none, do we have a motion? I move to approve as submitted. Second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay. We'll proceed. Right now, we have an open forum for anyone in the audience that has a comment or a question about anything not on the agenda tonight. If your hand is up, we'll take you. If not, we'll move on. Okay, seeing none, we'll move onto new business. The first item is 6800 Whiteown Boulevard, a conditional use permit. And we'll start with the staff report. The subject property consists of the former Fontbonne campus at White Island Big Bend, which was purchased by WashU in 2024. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to consolidate and replace previously approved CUPs and operate the site in accordance with the existing conditions. The applicant proposes the regulations remain consistent with previous CUPs with two exceptions. In August 2014, CUP grants Fontbonne use of 153 spaces on the Concordia Seminary property. The lease of these spaces has been terminated and the CUP does not need to grant use of these spaces.
