Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Planning Commission ARB for April 20th. If you have any electronic gadgets, please silence them at this time. Steve Lichtenfeld? Here. Helen DiFate? Here. Jim Arsenault? Here. Blair Kweskin? Here. Jeff Morrisey? Here. Susan Buse? Here. Okay, we have minutes from the previous meeting on March 30th. Are there any changes? I had one comment. They had agreed and agreed again at the council table that everything would be, the property would be dark sky compliant. Good. Let's hear that. But that doesn't change our meeting minutes. Yeah, I think it's good. Exterior lighting shielded everything else. It's a little bit higher stand, but close enough that I think the minutes are probably fine. Okay. Thank you. Do we have a motion? I move to approve as submitted with Susan's comment. Second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay, this is the time for the open forum. If anyone has a question or comment on anything that is not on tonight's agenda, please come up and hopefully you've signed in beforehand. Any hands up? No? Hearing none, we will move on to The business matters for tonight, starting with new business. Item one is 7645 Wydown Boulevard. Is the applicant here? Okay, we'll start with the staff report. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit for a 2,200-square-foot restaurant on the subject property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Wydown and Hanley. The property has a zoning designation of M1 and formerly housed Starbucks.
