44th Avenue for which a Conditional Use Permit was approved by Plan-
ning Commission Resolution No. 346 for a Church -Related Retirement

accomodate the intended use of the property by the Catholic Bishop of San Diego in that
the central use would not meet the permitted use category of churchs, convents, mon-
