<br /> buffered by an intervening building (i.e. the Sunshine Saloon faces towards the interior of the
<br /> site) and/or towards another commercial building.
<br /> Figure 2 shows the proximity of nearby residential uses to Sunshine Saloon. As shown, the
<br /> nearest residential uses are located across Santa Rita Road to the east, approximately 370
