Mabusth said this was not possible under the lease <br />agreement. Jabbour said he had informed the group to make this determination prior to <br />the lease agreement. Mabusth said this was not possible under the lease agreement. <br />• Jabbour said he was uncomfortable with the "club" portion of the ordinance and asked if <br />the use could be isolated under the school use. Mabusth said this is what Moorse was <br />attempting to do with the amendment for youth athletic facilities under the school use. <br />Callahan said the amendment would make this activity related to school use which would <br />make it limited. Jabbour asked if this would allow for such structures being added to <br />other school buildings in the City. Mabusth said the standards would be such that this <br />use could not happen elsewhere. Jabbour reiterated that he would like to see the "club" <br />use eliminated. <br />0 <br />Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to refer an ordinance amendment, adding Youth <br />Athletic Facilities as an accessory use to a school use, to the Planning Commission for <br />review and recommendation.
