Car sales are <br />currently not permitted in any industrial district. <br />A poll was taken of four adjacent counties to <br />determine if this use was allowed within their <br />industrial districts. Of the counties contacted 2 <br />allowed auto sales in all industrial districts, 1 in <br />the Light (I -1) and Medium (I -2) Industrial Districts <br />only and 1 does not allow the use in their industrial <br />districts. Also, the Orange County Economic <br />Development Commission has been contacted, and is not <br />opposed to the request. <br />The Planning Board considered the proposed amendment <br />on September 16, 1991 and recommended approval. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed <br />amendment, per the Planning Board recommendation. <br />
