10th Street.

P. Braun provided an overview of the report. He stated that the Fire and

Building Inspection Departments reported no concerns or complaints. He

noted that while the Police Department did report that there were no signs

of CUPs being uncooperative, this location did have a high volume of calls;

however, not enough to pull the CUP.

the City Departments. Staff recommends continuation of the CUP with an

annual review in January 2027.
