Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the requested special exception to retain the existing four-foot sidewalk in front of the development instead of implementing a standard five-foot wide sidewalk based upon the following findings:
Findings:
1. The proposed configuration equitably balances the needs of the public and presents the most efficient use of the land.
2. Pedestrian safety has been adequately addressed with the proposed improvements.
3. The precedence of adjoining improvements would be continued and maintained.
