He then said that Mr. Johnson feels that the requirements that tie his garage use to that 15 of a residential garage are overly restrictive in the sense that the zoning district is intended for a 16 mixed use of the property. 17 18 Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated the Ordinance attached would add automotive 19 accessory installation operations as a permitted use and then any expansion would go through the 20 development review process and would be treated as a commercial business. 21 22 Council Member Marty pointed out that this is in compliance with the comprehensive plan. 23 24 MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney.
