Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the licensing of nonconforming motor vehicle repair facilities.
Section
81-79 cr
84-47 cr
Analysis
This ordinance establishes a license requirement for nonconforming motor vehicle repair facilities, which are motor vehicle repair facilities that were legally established but no longer comply with the regulations of the zoning code.
