zoning district which does not allow minor automotive repair or any other similar automotive use
either by right or as a use -by -exception. I have copied the list of permitted and use -by -exception
uses for the CL below.
(b) Permitted uses. The uses permitted within the CL zoning districts shall be as
follows:
(1) Service establishments such as barber or beauty shops, shoe repair, laundry or
dry cleaning pick-up, tailors or dressmakers; low intensity retail sales of items such

similar products.

future reference if you decide to seek another location within Atlantic Beach, minor automotive
repair is allowed within the Commercial General, and Light Industrial and Warehousing zoning
districts. If you have any questions about the zoning of a specific property, please feel free to ask.
