[67] Flyers announced a March 6, 2016 AFYFC Grand Opening beginning at 2:00 p.m. (https://www.facebook.com/events/533984560106329/) when an Al-Jazari Academy (separate from Dar al-Farooq Academy, DAFA) carnival began at noon, in apparent violation of the CUP prohibition against concurrent use of the gym and school facilities. Residents reported many hours of overlapping participation; also see photos of the festival bounce houses installed by truck on the City field, apparently without the required permit, and in violation of field preservation interests.
