Apartments above gas stations — new zoning use
Summary
Two ordinances would let residential units sit above convenience stores tied to gas stations in the General Business district — sparked by a citizen who bought the old Stewart Oil building on East Cherry Street. No other state has quite this use; the council advanced both on first reading with 45- and 60-foot separation rules.
