Northwest Highway. This case was first heard at the October 5, 1987 Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting, but the Board was unable to act upon the request since the City Council did not approve a request for rezoning to "HC", Highway Commercial. The subject request for variances was contingent that the City Council approve a request for a conditional use for a body shop completely within an enclosed building on the first reading of the ordinance November 17, 1987.
