STAFF ANALYSIS:
This rezoning request is a follow-up to an interpretive
action made by the Board of Adjustment in April of this
year. Grueny's Stamp Company has been in operation for a
number of years and was considered a conforming use under
the former Zoning Ordinance. The new Zoning Ordinance
converted the old "G-1" district to "C-4" and changed the
permitted uses which made the Stamp Company a nonconforming
use. The Building Permits staff made this decision. The
Board of Adjustment was asked to determine if the "C-4"
district was appropriate for the use or another
reclassification was required becuase the owner planned to
expand the existing building. The.Ordinance does not permit
expansion of a nonconforming use and this expansion was the
primary issue. The Board.of Adjustment interpreted the use
as "C-3" and for the expansion to take place a
reclassification of the property would have to occur. This
type of rezoning action has already taken place in this
general area, as represented on the accompanying Zoning
sketch.
