§ 7-42. Business not to be in violation of zoning regulations.
Latest version.
Each applicant for a local business tax receipt shall definitely state and set out
the exact location at which such business shall be operated. Before issuing a local
business tax receipt, it shall be the duty of the code enforcement division to check
the zoning applicable to such listed place of business and if the applicable zoning
regulations do not permit the conduct of business at such intended business location,
the code enforcement division shall refuse to issue the local business tax receipt
for a business in a prohibited zone, unless the applicant can show a vested right
for a nonconforming use or variance permit. In such instances the particular exception
must be endorsed upon the local business tax receipt.
