That until such time as the traffic assessment district(s) has been formed and assessments levied on all properties, no occupancy of any buildings will be allowed. Mr. Harris cited section numbers which have been eliminated from conditions of the former Ordinance 1040 as clarified in the conditions contained in the staff report. He also indicated that Condition No. 110 has been added to require newspaper racks be modular rather than individual in the business park. The public hearing was opened. Jack Swanson, The Prudential Insurance Company of America gave a slide presentation. Chairman Jamieson asked if there was anyone else giving a presentation at this time.
