ITEM SUMMARY:
Kenny Patel of Paclantic Naturals LLC has petitioned for approval of a Special Use Permit for the

by HFI Manufacturing. The property is located on the west side of Carolina Drive approximately one
quarter mile north of Hawthorne Lane in the M Manufacturing District.

include food oils, food powders, fragrance/aromatic oils, massage oils, butters, herbs, lotions,
cosmetic bases and other related raw materials. The petitioner is also proposing ancillary uses such

distributing flammable liquids, such as fats and oils, requires approval of a Special Use Permit. No
