Resolution No. 2009-15 Page 1 of 5 The proposed indoor soccer facility will not be • detrimental to persons residing and working in the area as the use, as conditioned, will not create any negative or adverse impacts. Conditions of approval have been added limiting the facilities hours of operation and time between games to prevent any conflicts with the surrounding industrial uses. Additionally, the majority of the activity for this use will occur in the evenings and on the weekends when other industrial uses will not be active. iii.
