promoting retail sales. The tent is proposed to be approximately 20 feet by 30 feet and

the site by approximately 8 to 12 spaces. A tent permit application is required to be
submitted to Building Inspections Department demonstrating that the tent will meet
current building and fire regulations.

Hours of Operation: 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily
Parking: The required parking for this lot is 627 spaces and the
provided parking is 655 spaces. The tent sale is estimated
to reduce parking by up to 12 spaces, leaving 643 spaces.

A specific use permit for this purpose can be approved for no more than two events
