This use, according to the Herald article, was abandoned for the past six years. Mr. Rice felt this should be called to the atten t ion of the City Manager for further action. Discussion ensued; it was asked if the use were "non-co nforming" or illegal? After c o nsulting the 1940 and 1955 Zoning maps, it was pointed out that this particular area has never been zoned commercial and it could be assumed that the use is illegal, not non-conforming.
