There are 2 <br />areas of the City that are currently zoned C4; they are located on the north side <br />of Highway 10 at the intersection with Joplin Street and on the northwest <br />corner of the intersection of 193rd Avenue and Highway 169. <br /> <br />Currently the retail sale of gasoline is only allowed with a conditional use <br />permit for a motor vehicle service station. It is treated this way because motor <br />vehicle service stations are the only use that currently includes the retail sale of <br />gasoline. This glitch in the ordinance makes it necessary for businesses such as <br />Super America or Holiday to apply for a conditional use permit for a motor <br />vehicle service station in order to sell gasoline. It is the intent of the proposed <br />ordinance amendment to make the retail sale of gasoline a conditional use. Since <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
