From the transcript
Um, so the, the last thing I wanted to mention was that the city had denied an application very similar to this one a few years ago. Where a guide business wanted to have lodging in a single-family residence in an exclusively residential subdivision like Woodland. And in that case, the business owners were on site and they still got denied. And so the problems with customers could have been handled. The reasons for the denial of that permit should be precedent for this one.
