-------------------------------------------------- REMINDER: Only 2 Posts Per Day Per Person -------------------------------------------------- Some of you may remember the discussion of local control of non-conforming uses in the House at the State Capitol. This issue was never heard in the senate. Now here is the extremely bad news....
Abrams� amendment passed, 71-61. It basically does away with any local control of non-conforming uses. It was tacked on to the Senate bill regarding zoning moratoria. I assume the issue now gets decided in conference committee. If you would like your city to be able to have control of things ranging from gun ranges to sex shops to billboards, you need to contact your senator and raise the red flags. Powerful industry forces (billboards, auto dealerships) are at work here. This is not good for cities.
