Staff is requesting input and guidance with regard to the uses permitted in the Central Business District (CBD). Specifically, based on the intent of the district are the uses appropriate? Are there uses that should be added or deleted from the CBD district? Based on the previous discussions and the opinion of the City Attorney, the individual uses under the general classification, i.e. shoe store, stationary store, barber shop, hardware store, should be listed: a. This type of list itemizes the uses permitted in the district and prohibits those not specified. b. However, if a specific use is requested within a district that is not listed and is reasonable for that district, the city code will have to be amended to permit the use. Staff is requesting input and guidance with regard to uses permitted in the CBD. Staff has supplied some recommendations which are shown in Strike Thru/Bold format as part of the attached district.
