“So to be crystal clear, as you just stated, as I understand it, The cap would be at this moment 100 beds or less. Should you want a further increase in the number of beds, you have to go with a conditionally used process, correct?”

It might violate that deed restriction. but it still be a benefit to the city.

So you have to go through all these other approvals before that park, 5.6 acres, is deeded to the city, which is a bonus, and I appreciate that.
