City Administrator Larson explained that the City Attorney has advised the City that the Ordinance specifically prohibits his type of business in that zoning district and the City is not allowed to make an exception and grant a special use permit. The Commission discussed the matter and informed Mr. Strantz that they would like to assist him with staying in the City but cannotgo against the advice of the City Attorney.

Mayor Capra explained that the business being referenced is an allowed use within the district it is located in but Mr. Strantz business is specifically prohibited in the zoning district he has requested to be located in. Mr. Strantz commented that he feels the City is forcing him out of business and out of the City. City Administrator Larson indicated that no one is forcing Mr. Strantz out of business and the City would allow him to locate in theindustrial district where his type of business is allowed but he would need to meet all the code standards for fire and sprinkler as other businesses are required to do.
