the new development.
Mr. Rick Trice, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Department, clarified that this
would allow the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to construct new development, and
pointed out that the site met the 300 foot setback and that this change did not move the pad site

Theological Seminary, appeared before Council and clarified that they had worked with
