This <br />definition indicates that a dry cleaning operation will be considered a "Dry Cleaning Service <br />Facility" if it satisfies the six criteria set fonh in 91002.2 of the Code. Section lOO5.04A.19 <br />establishes "dry cleaning and laundry receiving stations, processing (0 be done elsewhere and <br />dry cleaning services facilities" as permitted uses in a B~2 zone. As "Dry Cleaning Service <br />Facility" is a term of art with its own definition in the Code, it is my opinion that a "Dry <br />Cleaning Service Faciliry" is a pennitted use in a B-2 zone. <br /> <br />Additional support for this interpretation is found by reviewing Ordinance No. 1023, <br />which added the definition of a "Dry Cleaning Service Facility" and ~1005.04A.19 to the Code. <br />The intent of this Ordinance can be inferred from the title which indicates that it is "AN <br />ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE BY <br />DEFINING DRY CLEANING SERVICE FACIUTY AND ALLOWING ON-SITE DRY <br />CLEANING BY MODERN DRY CLEANING PLANTS IN ALL BUSINESS ZONES EXCEPT <br />B-1 AND B-6." This language, as well as the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting at <br />which this Ordinance was considered, demonstrate that the intent of the Ordinance was to allow <br />the modem IIDry Cleaning Service Facility" in Zones B-2 through B-5. <br /> <br />· Also Admitted in Wiscunsin <br />tCivil Trial Specialist, Certified by the Civil Litigation Sccr.ion of !he MinnoS(!1a State Bar A-~~iatiQn. <br />
