The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of <br />the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. <br />Finding: The use of open and outdoor storage is consistent with the I-1 <br />Zoning District, and with City Code, Section 1116.04, Subd 1 <br />(Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use in the I-1 District). <br />
