V . DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Bl zoning -Permitted Uses
Director Celva told the Board that two months previously he
had received a complaint from a Broadway merchant about a
second hand store locating in the 3400 block of Broadway.
Since this use does not conform to the existing zoning
regulations, he stated that he had contacted Bob Simpson and
requested that the City take appropriate action. over the
intervening months it became apparent that enforcement of
the code, in this instance, was problematic and that he had
asled Bob Simpson to review for the Board the issues
involved.
Mr. Simpson related to the Board while indeed second
hand stores were a non-conforming use in the Bl
district, that the existence of other businesses, of
this same type in the district complicated enforcement.
Simpson went on to outline potential options and their
implications. After discussion of these matters and
other concerns related to the operation of the business
the consensus of the Board was that they did not wish
to push the issue of enforcement of the zoning code at
this time. However, based on this same businesses
display of merchandise in front of their store in their
previous location, it was requested that should this
become a problem in the new location that the City take
action to enforce related codes.
Cinderella city Update
Before leaving for another appointment Mr. Simpson told the
Board that progress on the Cinderella City demolition was
close to being on schedule with completion anticipated for
May, 1999.
Marilee Utter went on the present an update on varied
elements of the projects.
