ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO SECTION 28, "CBD"
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission authorize Staff to set a public
hearing to consider an amendment to Section 28, "CBD" Central Business District
relative to the elimination of the one year trial period for outside display of merchandise
and take any action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
Early in 2003, Staff received a request from Mr. Terry Musar, the owner/operator of Mad
Duck Adventure Sports at 816 South Main Street, to allow outside display of
merchandise such as bicycles and kayaks. This site, located at the northwest corner of
South Main Street and Dallas Road is zoned "CBD" Central Business District and has a
historic subdistrict overlay. At the time of Mr. Musar's request, outside display was not
permitted in the "CBD" Central Business District. An amendment was drafted
establishing a set of criteria to allow outside display of merchandise as an accessory use
and was approved with a one-year trial period due to end March 18, 2004.
Several merchants along South Main Street have occasionally availed themselves of this
provision and there have been no reported negative incidents or problems resulting from
this outside display of merchandise. Staff recommends the one year timeline be
eliminated and outside display as an accessory use within the guidelines established in
the "CBD" Central Business District be allowed permanently.
