Ng.1 L ON -THE
- Chairman Brian Chaney informed the Planning and
Zoning Commission that we are dealing with a new area that
has not been encountered before, which is pawn shops and
then asked Mr. Roy Faires` Code Enforcement Officer to
explain the ordinance to the members.
We have a pawn shop that has made application to the state
for their license. We had no similar zoninq category where
I could figure a place for pawn shops to be permitted. I
suggest that we put it in a specific use zoning ordinance
without giving a free rien. The ordinance before you has
been approved by Larry Jackson.
By recommending to the City Council , for approval we are
Placing pawn shops in B-2 section 18 of the zoning ordinance
as number 9: Pawn Shops. Also, under section 19 Industrial ,
a new heading under Pawn Shops for specific use. This will
give the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
the opportunity to look at each application that comes in as
pawn shops. Staff recommends passing this ordinance.
Chairman Brian Chaney asked Bobby Skipwith if he had ever
served on this type of board? Bobby Skipwith replied. "no" .
Chairman Brian Chaney explained that the Planning and Zoning
Commission is a recommending board only. We make
recommendations to the City Council . If we vote something
down, it takes a 75% majority vote of the City Council to
override us. The City Council actually puts it into law.
The zoning map, has been accepted by City Council as a guide
line.
Mr. Roy Faires, Code Enforcement Officer stated that what
you should be aware of in zoninq. is a legal concept. What
is not permitted is prohibited. This is the only law of
that nature on the books. If we don ' t have it permitted
someplace, then its absolutely prohibited.
Chairman Brian Chaney stated that we are recommending to
City Council to put this into the two most restricted uses,
B-2 and Industrial . They would come before us with a
specific use permit of what type, and size of pawn shop.
This gives the Planning and Zoning an option to give the
owner a specific use permit or annual renewal .
Ken Mauk asked whether the renewal fee will be for the same
one year period as the permit and license? Roy Faires. Code
Enforcement Officer, replied, " the annual fee is $100. 00 and
will not change. ''
Ben Scholz made motion to recommend to the City Council for
approval . Ken Mauk seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-
Chairman Brian Chaney welcomed Bobby Skipwith to the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
- Vice-Chairman Ben Scholz made a
motion to adjourn the June 4, 1987 Regular Meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Bobby Skipwith seconded the
motion. Motion carried 4-0.
