Issue The Zoning Administrator approved a Use Permit for High Tech High Bayshore on April 19, 2005. The property is located within the Industrial Restricted (IR) Zoning District.

The appellant cites several issues upon which the appeal is based including safety; traffic and parking rnpacts; and land use compatibility concerns. Major Findings .
