If necessary, the Planning Commission may modify or add conditions of approval to mitigate such impacts, or may revoke said conditional use permit. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the use, as proposed and conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from occupying the subject site and conducting the specified activities; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with fewer patrons, with modified hours of operation, or other changes to the proposal. Since staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing uses or the surrounding area, staff suggests that neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued.
