offices. These developments will enhance and maintain the character and economic viability of
Old Town, by attracting patrons and consumers to the areas.

accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping,
and other development features prescribed in the zoning ordinance. Upon approval of the
Master CUP, and submittal of subsequent development plans at specific sites, the plans will be

Specific Plan. This will insure that the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape
