The P&Z recommended the applicant work with City staff
to ensure there would be a sufficient number of
temporary restroom facilities to accommodate the
proposed event.
The recommended number of temporary restroom facilities provided by
the leasing company is 1:100. Due to the number of anticipated participants
and the length of the event, City staff has determined the recommended
number would be sufficient and have also required that the applicant
provide at least one temporary restroom facility that is handicap accessible.
The applicant has agreed to these terms.
