DATE: July 26, 2021 BACKGROUND At its meeting held on July 6, 2021 the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this application subject to the following condition: 1. The tenant finish out plans shall comply with the requirements of the 2015 IBC with local amendments and its associated references for special amusement. Must also be approved by the City of Paris Building Official & Fire Marshal prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The applicant was unable to comply with this condition due to improvements that would be required for the existing shopping center that are not cost effective for the new tenant nor landlord to make. The applicant worked with staff and has since found another location for the escape room business in another shopping center on East Clarksville. As a result, the applicant has submitted the attached request for withdraw. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends acceptance for withdraw of the above referenced SUP application.
