For the B-3 District, the Land Use Chart within the Zoning Code does not specifically <br />permit or prohibit open sales lots.

Exterior storage is <br />prohibited in both the B-2 and B-3 Districts. However, in cases where a property has an <br />approved Conditional Use Permit for an open air garden center, limited exterior storage directly <br />associated with the garden center use may be approved by the City. <br /> <br />The inventory completed by staff included two properties with exterior storage areas.
