C. That pursuant to DCCSP Table 3.1 , Commercial Permitted Use Table, vocational schools are listed as a conditionally permitted use. D. That in accordance with TCC Section 9299b3(f), the Zoning Administrator is authorized to consider minor CUPs for existing developments where there would be no change in primary use, no expansion of floor area, and the request would not alter the original intent of the project or site. E. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2022-0003 on May 12, 2022, by the Zoning Administrator. F.
