Impact analysis
Sale proceeds and new property tax revenue for the city; the city also waives its own $2,000 application fee.
The growing local business gets room to expand, and neighbors get wall/fence repairs and use restrictions.
Neighbors could face more intensive commercial uses next door, and residents lose a piece of public land forever.
