State Law would suggest that a variance is the better option. o A few uses were eliminated such as commercial daycares, pigeons, and sportsmen kennels. o New graphics have been provided to show the building envelope options and allowances. o All of the spatial requirements are in tables and diagrams. o Removal of R-1-43 Zone.
