Councilor Burgess - Going to make it harder for businesses. No clue what to do in the office for a special permit. We had it as a PTC to protect the businesses that pay taxes. I think it's going in the wrong direction. We also have in here Lombardo's did the drive in and now it's being regulated. By getting rid of PTC you just added a whole slew of costs for businesses.
