Kotyash 3424 King Richard Dr., For: 4203 Brookpark Road SECTION 1170.03 SCHEDULE OF PERMITTED BUILDINGS AND USES. 2 Buildings and land shall be used, and buildings shall be designed, erected, altered, moved or maintained, in whole or in part, in the Commercial Manufacturing "A" only for the uses set forth in the schedules and regulations.

Automobile Permitted Sales, New and Used The proposal is to operate an online or indoor car dealership on a parcel not zoned Commercial Manufacturing “B”. A variance would result in allowing car sales in the Commercial Manufacturing “A” district. After discussion John Yurkiw recommends to Council to grant this use variance, I make a motion to approve the variance with the stipulation that there would not be any cars for sale outside of the building. By granting this variance, it will not change the essential character of the neighborhood, and the adjoining properties would not suffer substantial detriment as a result of granting this variance.
