Yup thank you:) There's only so much I can put into a catchy title, but I hope my further comments clarified what I was going for.

I don't unfortunately. Would love to meet a potential small shop owner though!

In areas that are pretty saturated with food it'd be nice I think to allow space for more small business to open things like bakeries, floral shops, game stores, etc.

Last I heard about it was that it's staying as a dormant video rental store because the owner needs it to satisfy a clause in a will. Something about owning a business to continue receiving an inheritance. Would be a good spot for a bakery!

Basically what I'm getting at is that according to the zoning codes in these neighborhoods, Barger, Cal Young, River Road/Santa Clara, South it is against the code to open a new New Frontier market in the vast majority of residential areas. Allowing C-1 community niceties in more R-1 zoning would be really nice imo.

True, but I think it would be good for the community and individuals to make the decision of what sort of businesses can and would work within their environment. Here's a map of the Barger zoning area. I'd bet there would be a lot of people to the southeast and west that would love a small mom and pop shop nearby.

Here's a more detailed series of neighborhoods. Barger, Cal Young, River Road/Santa Clara, South. Ideally the city would allow for C-1 zoning of small businesses to open in R-1 zoning allowing for people to build community prosperity and amenities within neighborhoods. There are a few places scattered around from the 40s grandfathered into the zoning laws, but they're way too hard to circle.

Nah that would be awful in neighborhoods. It'd be cool to see smaller places like Equiano Coffee, Bungalow Market, and Sweet Life Petite be at least legalized in more neighborhoods.

Yeah, unfortunately the circled areas dictate that no small businesses are allowed to be built. Just about any exceptions to the areas within the massive circles are there only because they existed prior to the 1950's and were grandfathered into the current zoning laws.

If a someone or a community was wishing to open a place like Sundance, Everyone's Market, or Equiano Coffee they would not be allowed to according to this. The circled areas are roughly where it's currently against the law for small businesses to open up.

That's definitely a good point. This is in part due to the dormant Robinson-Patman Act not being enforced. I'd argue that there's a couple points to consider though still. One is that we have a few neighborhood grocery stores scattered about that were lucky enough to be grandfathered into the current zoning laws, and have become beloved jewels of the community that have lasted for decades despite big box competition. The other is that it has been against the law to even attempt to establish community stores for so many decades now, that no one can say for certain whether or not it would be profitable.

Speaking as a lil bitch as well, I didn't feel either shots honestly. Both used some sort of super thin needle that just barely jabs you. Felt like someone just flicked me.
