Memo fo Bob Vose <br />Augusf 6, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br />I reviewed several other cify codes. Robbinsdale has a"B4p overlay district" fhat includes <br />this type of use. I iooked at the Hopkins code-a which was mentioned by Mr. Ericsor� -- and <br />note thai na license can be issued at a locatian thafi is less thar� 1,000 feet from any adult <br />business, or a locafion that is less fihan 350 feet from any off-sale liquor businesses. I could <br />no� pull up Hopkins' zoning ordinance on-line, so I do not know whether they have a special <br />overiay district. Broaklyn Center also has an overlay disfirict. <br />�.., � <br />I believe that the City can regulate pawnshop locafiions, buf any regulations should be <br />reasonable and, absent specific supporting facfs and reasons, should fireat pawnshops in a <br />manner similar to other comrr�ercial uses. More restrictive pawnshop requirements must <br />have a rational basis and be supporfed with adequate factual findings. <br />>:i <br />
