Mrs. Stratton stated Staff, however, has reviewed the Variance and CUP and have found problems with some of the findings, there were inappropriate findings, and Staff feels this matter should be referred back to the Planning Commission with the direction that the Commission initiate proceedings to revoke the Variance and CUP.
