There will be some traffic using Linden Ave. and other city streets to get to the site. Staff also asked for clarification from the applicant on whether or not food trucks would be onsite. It was noted that they will likely have some food trucks at some point and they would be parked in front.

Need to identify where food truck parking will be located.
