What this means

The project would replace four existing industrial/office buildings and surface parking with a much larger warehouse-style facility on about 29 acres. The plan includes 781 parking spaces, 27 loading docks, and removal of 25 ordinance-sized trees. Commissioners also heard concerns about labor practices and more time for public review, but those issues were noted as outside the commission’s approval authority.
