Jain Society special exception denial
Summary
The Jain Society wanted to replace its single-story hall with a 15,043-square-foot, two-story building on local residential roads near Sanlando Park. Neighbors said it's out of character and worsens traffic and parking; commissioners sympathized but denied it — without prejudice, so a smaller plan can come back.
