<br />
<br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #15-020: Retail and Resale Businesses
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Requested Action
<br />
<br />Consider revising the retail sales and services definition in the Zoning Code and adding a new
<br />definition for resale business.

<br />
<br />Background
<br />
<br />This memo provides an overview of the possible change to the Zoning Code in order to further
<br />regulate retail sales of new and used goods. Based on the direction provided by the Planning
<br />Commission, staff may draft an ordinance that could amend the Zoning Code to clarify the City’s
<br />position on business establishments that sell goods to the public.

<br />Currently, the City’s definition for “retail sales and service” includes both the sale of new goods
<br />and the sale of used goods. The following definition regarding “retail sales and service” is
<br />included in the definitions section of the City’s Zoning Code.
