PUBLIC COMMENT - Agenda Items
Jim Heyden, former LPD Deputy Chief, commended the Mayor on his selection of Teresa Szymanski to
be the Chief of Police.
ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA
Without objection, a vote on Mayor Bernero's selection of Teresa Szymanski to be the Chief of Police was
added to the agenda for immediate discussion.
REVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION FROM MAYOR BERNERO
Commissioner Sims gave a brief overview of the selection process as conducted by the Board and the
Mayor. She announced the Mayor's recommendation of Teresa Szymanski to be the Chief of Police. A
motion was made to concur with the Mayor's recommendation and was passed by a vote of six
yeas and one abstention. The meeting was recessed for approximately ten minutes to allow members of
the press to interview those present. When the meeting reconvened, Commissioner Sims extended her
congratulations to Chief Szymanski and thanked both Jerry Ambrose and City. Human Resources
Specialist, Regina Wilson for their assistance in the process. It was the consensus of the Board that a

placed on file.
EDUCATION PRESENTATION
Commissioner Sims introduced Jerry Ambrose, Chief of Staff and Director of Finance, and commended
Jim DeLine, and Commissioners Carnegie and Renfrew, for their work with the Board on the LPD budget.
Mr. Ambrose expressed his appreciation to the Board for their work in the selection process and began
his presentation on City finances by declaring that we are in a "challenging time."
He discussed the shared financial dynamics occurring in Michigan cities and noted the decrease in recent
years in the number of City employees. He noted that, even with fewer City employees, the public has
seen little decline in the provision of City services.
In a discussion of revenues, Mr. Ambrose reported that assessments, revenue sharing and income taxes
have all declined in recent years. Revenues budgeted for fiscal year 2010 were $117 million but only
$108 million was actually received. Several cost cutting steps were invoked as the year progressed, but
even with them, the City dipped into reserves exhausting them by 50%.
The current budget is $109 million and, though we appear to be on track, State cuts in revenue sharing
and multiple tax appeals may create a lessening of budgeted revenues. With a declining number of State
employees, even income taxes might be negatively impacted. City revenues in fiscal year 2012 are
projected to be only $103 million. Expenses could rise to $118 million. This potential $15 million gap has
already been made public. What if the LPD budget was $29 million and not $34 million?
Board members expressed their appreciation to Mr. Ambrose for his leadership and frank discussion. In
response to Commissioner Farhat's comment about a tax increase, he noted that Mayor Bernero has
commented that he would only consider requesting a tax increase if it was necessary to maintain public
safety services. A discussion followed on the possibility of increasing income taxes paid by commuters
and also on the value of cost saving initiatives mentioned in the recent resource allocation study
conducted by Alexander Weiss.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT - Chief Szymanski
On the occasion of the Board approving the Mayor's recommendation of Teresa Szymanski to the
position of Chief of Police, the Board excused the Chief for the rest of the meeting. The Chief thanked
the Board and accepted the invitation to leave the meeting early.

PUBLIC COMMENT
John Pollard spoke regarding City Council meetings being shorter in time length. With
incomes down for the population of Lansing, now would be the time for Council to meet
longer. Neighborhood meetings in his opinion are not considered the same relevance of
an actual City Council meeting. Even though Councilmembers are part time, the
meetings have also been condensed by combining Committee of the Whole on Monday
night with City Council meetings. He asked the EOCC to heavily consider in their
decision making the actual time City Councilmembers spend working. He suggested
that perhaps the City Councilmembers compensation be on a per diem basis.
Darnell Oldham, Sr. emphasized that elected city officials should be servants not rock
stars. He supported John Pollard comments.

DIRECTOR' S REPORT
Toni Young discussed the Point in Time count scheduled for January 26, 2011, that counts
the numbers of homeless. Teams will be located at the VOA, CATA bus station, District
Library and the DHS lobby.
Board member Jonathon Solis asked how the homeless that are "couch surfing" (staying
with friends or family) are counted.
Toni Young agreed that it is a problem. However, we are hoping to catch people who are
imminently at risk for homelessness at the various locations. There are definitions in the
information requested that allow for people who are "couch surfing".
Board member Gail Fournier commented that DHS cannot really help them if they are
staying with family/friends as they are not considered homeless.
Toni Young reports our "Homeless Prevention & Rapid Re-housing" grant works to
prevent foreclosures, and homelessness. Also, the Legal Services of South Central
Michigan and Capital Area Community Services, two agencies involved with that program
are doing a good job of helping prevent homelessness.
Other agencies in the community involved with collecting data for Point In Time count are
Carefree Medical, emergency rooms at both of the hospitals, county and city jails.
Board member, Katie John asked how the data collected is used.
Toni Young replied the information is used in two ways, surveys determine how people
become homeless and allows us to do a needs assessment, and the data collected are entered
into our HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) which our office coordinates.
All the shelters use this system; the Continuum of Care uses the HMIS system, and
numbers are reported to HUD, which is a factor in determining funding.
Board member Katie Johns asked if this was just Ingham County.
Toni Young stated that we handle Ingham County but the Point in Time Count is done
nationally on this specific day.
Toni Young reported we also still host the Mobile Food Pantry the third Saturday of every
month and any board members that would like to be involved are welcome to volunteer.
Board member Edwina Marshall shared about the City's Martin Luther King Jr.
celebration, with theme of "The Legacy Lives On Thru Action". HRCS Director Joan
Jackson Johnson received a proclamation from the Mayor's office for community service.
This year was well attended. Human Relations does a good job with that program.
The Board discussed how they can be effective in celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. day
by planning an outreach to the community next year, in addition to our City program.
Board members discussed visiting the new Family Center shelter on Cedar Street. Toni
Young relayed the tour would need to take place when the residents were not present.
Board member Katie John asked if they need volunteers to serve meals. Toni Young
responded they need volunteers but she was not sure in which areas.
Toni Young reports the Project Homeless Connect for 2011 has been scheduled for Friday,
September 23 rd. This year we are changing the name to Project Connect, to include people
at imminent risk of homelessness. An invitation to Board Members interested in
volunteering was extended.
Toni Young announced that the HUD supportive housing program was approved and that
brings in $1,884,797 for housing/shelters and funds our HMIS program, permanent
supportive housing, employment, and homeless youth programs.
Information was distributed to Board Members regarding the upcoming Food Security
Conference on February 17th at the South Washington Complex.
Toni Young shared that she, along with four others representing local agencies who are
involved with the Office on Violence against Women grant attended OVW training in
Washington D.C. Violence against women is an ongoing problem, and this grant addresses
violence against older women and seniors.

STATEMENT OF CITIZENS
Sue Eareckson thanked the Board for the changes that have occurred at Bancroft Park. Signs have been updated,
benches have been repaired, and wood chips have been placed around the park and the playground area.
She also mentioned there is a resident who plays the guitar and sings and would like to do a coup:leof concerts in
the park for the neighborhood and would like to know if permission is needed or are there any special permits she
needs.
Dusty Fancher stated she believes it would be fine to have a neighborhood picnic with music.
Jason Meyer, Executive Director at Friends of Fenner Nature Center, stated he likes to attend meetings from time to
time to update the Board. Fenner has been in the press in the last couple of weeks with the suicide in the park and
John Schneider's article about potential deer hunting. Jason stated . Lansing Police handled the suicide situation
well and the deer hunting issue, is out of the hands of the Executive Director and Mr. Schneider seems to
understand that now.
Jason Meyer stated Fenner is expanding programs, winter break camps were very successful and he has been
meeting with the new Executive Director of Potter Park Zoo and Impression 5.to work on collaborative programs for
area youth to experience all three locations.
Jason Meyer stated since the Friends non-profit is running the programs at Fenner they need to raise money to
keep the operations sustained. There have been a lot of people that have walked in the door at Fenner asking
about wedding receptions; only to leave when they find out alcohol is not allowed.
Dusty Fancher indicated this item is on the agenda under new business with a request for an ordinance change.

BudgetReview
LansihqPark Board Minutes - January 12, 2011 Page 2
Jerry Ambrose stated we are still in a recession and things are tough with the State and the City. The City is at the
point where it needs to begin to plan for the next fiscal year which starts July 1. They City closed out last year, and
know where we are financially this year and have projections for next year. Projections for next year are not good
and the recession, from the perspective of financing local government, has had significant affects. We found out
during last year, for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 2010, the state had problems and cut funding mid-year.
Revenue is down due to businesses and residents who are appealing their property taxes and not only have the
property values gone down, plus there are fewer, people employed in the city.
The city started last year with a general fund budget of $117 million but by the end of the year the revenues were
only $108 million. The city was able to make adjustments and not spend $9 million that was not there, but did have
to spend $4 million of the reserves.
The city is currently on track for the second quarter for this fiscal year. The actual budget is about $109 million right
now, but we do not know what the state government is going to do. The good news bad news, in terms of income
tax revenues, is the number of individuals employed in the city is greater now than it was in June 2009, but it still far
less than it was in 2008.
Looking forward to next year, the property values are still decreasing and overall the city valuation of property will go
down about 8%. We do not know what the state is going to do when it adopts its budget, but it is hard to believe
they won't adopt a budget that reduces revenue sharing.
If the City's budget is .$109 million total this year, we project our revenues to be $103 million next year. This is a $6
million deficit and when we factor in the increase cost of operations, which could be $7 or $8 million equates to the
estimated $15 million deficit.
The Mayor has until March 28 to present his budget and Council has until around May 24 to adopt the budget.
Administrations challenge is to fashion a spending plan by March 1 and look at what we really must do to operate.
Rick Kibbey stated he hoped the Parks would be given the right to address cuts in a forth right manner and not be
taken advantage of. Second is to look at everything in the City and put it all on the table. The process needs to be
done differently and Parks should not serve as the insulation to other departments.
Jerry Ambrose stated everyone has been asked to advise administration what they can do with the money they get,
instead of what can not be done.
Dusty Fancher stated she hopes the Mayor's office will not lose sight of the park millage success and the public's
approval and value of the Parks Department and their willingness to pay for it.
Pepsi Refresh Grant Program
Kate Tykocki, Chief Communications Officer of Michigan Works, is volunteering with a non-profit organization called
Keep Learning Our Future Depends on It. The focus, of the non-profit is to change the culture in Mid-Michigan to
embrace life long learning instead of being a culture that does not truly value education or believes once you have
certification or a degree they are done, but to always strive for the next educational level. ,
This non-profits mission is to help double the number of college graduates in the Mid-Michigan area. There are a
number of ways they are doing this and one is trying to make education more visible in the community: They are
working with parents to help start the college conversation and help generate the first generation of college
graduates in a family. One way to make this more visible is along the River Trail. The River Trail is an asset and
resource in our community and may be used as an opportunity to educate youth about our community. Some of
those phenomenal assets may include history, architecture, the eco-system or whatever it may be to help educate
youth as well as start conversations about education and careers. One example would be walking along the River
Trail and viewing Potter Park Zoo and how you may be able to work there. The conversation could lead to if you do
not start to care about education, especially math and science, they would not be able to work at a zoo and attend
college to be a veterinarian.

City are competing to try to win some grant dollars to install learning and exploration stations along the River Trail.
Kate provided instructions on where and how to vote for Lansing. Keep Learning is looking forward to working with
Lansing for future opportunities.
Ordinance Change
Murdock Jemerson introduced Jason Meyer, Executive Director, Friends of Fenner Nature Center. Jason is an
entrepreneurial person and sees opportunities to use Fenner for wedding receptions. The City does not allow
alcohol at Fenner and Jason has requested a change to the City Ordinance. Jemerson stated this is a long process
and does involve City Council. The City already has in the ordinance Turner Dodge House, Scott House and the
golf course.
Jason Meyer stated the Friends feel with the agreement they have with the City, the Friends have to be
entrepreneurial and think about other revenue opportunities. He has seen in the last couple of weeks people walk
out the door because they could not have alcohol at a reception. He sees $500 opportunities in revenue leave with
them and thinks at that amount of money as staff time and how many programs they could offer to the public. By
allowing someone to come in and enjoy a wedding reception responsibly, like they may do at some other City
facilities, would help Fenner generate, revenue.
Dusty Fancher inquired if at the other facilities where we allow alcohol is it by permit only basis. Will the alcohol only
be at the reception or will it be allowed on the trails also? Jason stated it would only be in the building and by
permit.
Rick Kibbey inquired if the deck would be considered "inside"?
Jason Meyer stated he understands there a lot of questions; however this is not asking for a change, but to add
Fenner to the existing lists of facilities already in the ordinance.
Murdock Jemerson stated the Board would see a draft of the ordinance change.
Patricia Spitzley inquired about liability. Jemerson stated there are requirements currently when someone rents
Turner or Scott House and what liability, licenses and permits are required.
Dusty Fancher inquired about other facilities in the City and maybe we want to look at this as an option, for example
at Frances for weddings.
Murdock Jemerson stated the question has already come up about alcohol at the ball fields and he will be meeting
with staff regarding this.
Dusty Fancher asked for a proposal from staff about selling alcohol at the ball fields and other venues.
Luke Canfora moved to request the change to the City Ordinance to allow consumption of alcohol at Fenner Nature
Center. Seconded by Dusty Fancher. 7 yeas; 0 nays

Harmony Gmazel, Land Use Planner at Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, works with Greening Mid-
Michigan and they have created a regional green vision plan from informational workshops held throughout the
area. She provided printed copies of the plan and explained it. There are four hubs, one in Clinton County, one in
Eaton County, one in Ingham County and the . other is the Sycamore Creek/Red Cedar area. Each hub had
information about what is happening in each hub, the species that the area hosts, the habitat and what local
government and groups are doing to protect and preserve the natural areas. This is. a dynamic project in that it talks
to human recreation activity and the amenities needed, but it also talks to protecting the environment, open
Lansing Park Board Mi utes ' January 12, 2011 Page 4
space and promoting lowimpact development where porous pavement and green roofs are used. She reviewed the
tools and practices of thin plan to protect the environment. i
This project has been adopted by the City of Lansing who can now utilize the language of this vision plan and work
within its own boundaries to promote these elements and tie it into the greater regional vision. Also, the Michigan
DNR has acknowledged that this project has been completed and as part of their new parks and recreation and trust
fund guidelines, they are looking for more of regional emphasis on grant applications and this will provide the City of
Lansing 20 more points on any trust fund applications submitted to the DNR.
Updates
Murdock Jemerson introduced the newest member of the Park Board, Patricia Spitzley. Patricia is an attorney,
specializing in environmental and natural resource law. She was the Communications Director with the DEQ and
recently the Chief of the Office of Legal Services for the DNR.
Murdock Jemerson stated Miller Road Senior Center was victim of this year's budget and the facility was closed.
The senior program was to be moved on July 1, 2010; however it took time to find adequate space to move the
program and services to and as of January 18 the program will move to the Southside Community Center. The
senior leader will also be moving with the program.
Murdock Jemerson stated he will be on a panel and presenting a session at the annual Michigan Recreation Parks
Association conference on successful park millages. He and Joan Nelson will also be presenting a session on
Hunter Park at the National Recreation Parks Association in Atlanta in November.
Deer Population
Murdock Jemerson stated his comment to John Schneider is that we need to involve the Department of Natural
Resources Wildlife Division. The deer habitat problem is not only at Fenner; there are over 900 acres in that area
where the deer are coming from. Research will need to be done by the DNR and Jemerson spoke with Russ
Mason, Chief of the Wildlife Division. Mr. Mason is interested in working with us to make a determination on the
impact the deer have in this area. The city has an ordinance that prohibits hunting in the city, but there may be
other ways to deal with this issue.
Patricia Spitzley stated there are and this problem is not only in Lansing. There are many communities all over
Michigan trying to deal with large deer population in urban core areas. The DNR does issue permits, but with the
permits comes a lot a controversy and lawsuits. If that is the decision that is made after the studies, she suggests
looking at other options before getting a permit.
Murdock Jemerson inquired if the permit would supercede the City Ordinance.
Patricia Spitzley stated it does not and Parks may need to look at getting a variance. The DNR has a number of
good professionals who can give options and whether or not there really is a problem.
February Park Board Meeting
The next meeting is scheduled for February 9, 2011. Murdock will be attending the MRPA Conference and
wondered if the meeting could be moved to February 16, 2011. Board agreed.
Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

Section 2
Project Description
a) Zone location and duration of the proposed Subzone.
The Knapp's Centre Renaissance Subzone, will be located in the heart of downtown
Lansing at the southwest corner of South Washington Sq. and Washtenaw St. The
Subzone will be in effect for 15 years beginning on December 31, 2011 to December 31,
2026.
b) Explain why the community needs a Renaissance Zone designation for this parcel or
parcels of property.
The Renaissance Subzone is necessary to compensate for the costs to restore the
building address its inherent weaknesses. The buildings ribbed glass windows are a
important feature of its historic character, but they block views from the interior to the
outside making the space less desirable. The metal enamel panels that face the
building are another character defining feature. They are mounted to precast concrete
panels in a system called "Maul Macotta". The system, which was innovative in its time,
has failed resulting in the need to either remove and installed the panels or to replace
them with new to match the original. The building has obsolete HVAC, electrical and
plumbing systems. It has no onsite parking. As a result major improvements are
needed to adapt the building for contemporary use. The exterior will be restored to its
original appearance with new glass block and restored or replicated panels. The interior
will be completed gutted and rehabilitated with new building systems and contemporary
finishes customized to the needs of new tenant. A skylit atrium will be added to the 2nd -
5th floors to create a major tenant amenity and provide natural light and views to
compensate for the lack of views through the glass block. The atrium will both add extra
cost to the project and reduce the leasable area. The basement will be converted to
parking, the only such option on the site. The significant costs represented by these
work items makes the project economically infeasible with the tax benefits of the
Subzone.
c) How will the Renaissance Zone increase economic growth within the community as a
whole?
Great downtowns have great buildings with character and history. The new Christman
Building (formerly the Mutual Building) in downtown Lansing is a great example of this.
Another is the new Accident Fund headquarters complex in the former Ottawa Power
Station. These buildings have a look and feel that inspire and make people proud of
who they are and where they live. These buildings say that this is no ordinary place and
extraordinary things are possible right here in Lansing. At a time when many
Michiganders are feeling that Michigan is not the land of opportunity anymore, these
places are proof that our City holds the key to our future.
The Knapp's Centre Redevelopment Project will create an estimated 200 new jobs in
downtown Lansing. The project will also house the Lansing Economic Development
Corporation's Downtown Business Incubator. This Incubator will provide space,
financing and a expert services to attract and grow businesses in Lansing. The Project
will also include 21 residential units on the top floor. The 30 to 40 new residents and
200 new workers downtown will spend money and bring vitality into the downtown. Also,
there are many intangible benefits to this project such as creating civic pride, a sense of
place, the preservation of history, social buzz and shaping the identity of Lansing.
d) Identify any infrastructure and/or physical needs of the Renaissance Zone that need to
be implemented to make the zone viable.
As was mentioned above, the property is sorely lacking in almost every infrastructure
and physical category. The Renaissance Zone tax benefits will help the Developer to
recover some of the large upfront investment that will be necessary to make the building
a viable location for business and residents.
e) Present use of the property.
Presently the property is vacant.
f) Who currently owns the property? Please provide company name, contact name,
mailing and email addresses and phone number.
The property is owned by the Developer/Applicant; see Proposal Form on page 1 for
contact information.
g) Please provide proof of financial commitment(s) for the project that is the catalyst for this
new Subzone request. If the project is being funded internally, current financial
statements are acceptable in lieu of a commitment letter by a lending institution.
The Knapp's Building project budget is still under review and subject to change. The
project will be financed by the following sources:

December 16, 2010, request a local historic district designation as a single historic
resource for the former J.W. Knapp's Building, located at 300 S. Washington Ave.; and
WHEREAS, the Knapp's Building, was placed on the National Register of Historic
Places as a building with local architectural significance, due to Art-Moderne

Riverbank Traditional Pow Wow Final Analysis
This was the 11th Annual Riverbank Traditional Pow Wow sponsored by the
Native American Arts and Crafts Council. Each year the attendance has grown,
this year, we had attendance of over 12,000 people over the 3 days. This event
is a Native American Cultural exhibit and is free to the public. Over 400 Native
American Dancers, Drummers, and Vendors attended this year's program.
Beginning on Friday, June 18, the vendors opened at noon to begin the
celebration. A short dance exhibit was preformed for all who came to the park for
the Friday lunch hour. This also gave time for local TV news to highlight the Pow
Wow. While vendors were open beginning at noon, more of the public began
filling the grounds nearer the 5:00 hour. A community potluck ensued with nearly
500 community members from a variety of backgrounds joined us as the feast
began. After dinner, a social dance became the attraction for many. This part of
the weekend was the true beginning of our traditional pow wow.
Mr. Robin L. Menefee was the primary manager of this event. His organization of
the various pow wow committees led for smooth transitions throughout the entire
weekend.
Over 36 vendors from around the Great Lakes area participated in the event.
Some vendors not only displayed their wares, but also demonstrated their craft.
A free children's area lead for story telling and the opportunity to make a
necklace to take home to remember this experience. Over 250 necklaces were
made throughout the weekend. The committee had invited 4 drum groups to
participate in this event, but to our surprise 7 drums set up under our arbor for
continuous music and dancing throughout the weekend. Mr. Tim Loonsfoot was
our emcee for the weekend and provided the audience with stories and
information throughout the weekend.
Once again, this was a very successful program!

Dear President Robinson:
SUBJECT: Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Proposed Rules and Guidelines
Thanks to you and the council for the hard work on passing the Medical Marijuana Moratorium.
Please find attached a list of official recommendations from the Eastside Neighborhood
Organization.
We know that city and state officials are struggling to find regulations that will allow these
businesses to operate in the city with a minimum of negative impact on the neighborhoods and
other businesses while maintaining the eastside diversity of which we are all proud. We want to
be sure that the neighborhoods have some input into the process.
A large number of medical marijuana dispensaries have sprung up along the Michigan Avenue
corridor--the "core" to our great city. Our reputation, the positive building of our Lansing
neighborhoods, and businesses depend upon establishing rules and regulations that are in line
with the other businesses in our city. As these businesses become part of our retail landscape,
it is imperative that we are consistent with the rules and guidelines we set forth so that all
businesses are treated the same.
We have struggled to compile a list of rules and guidelines that we think our county, city, and
state officials should bring forward so that dispensaries become well run businesses and good
neighbors for the entire city. We do not want dispensaries concentrated in one area or to
dominate the retail areas of just a few of our neighborhoods.
We appreciate your consideration of our suggestions to bring the integration of these

dispensaries into Lansing forward in a positive and productive manner.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything in this letter or the attachments
please feel free to contact the members of the ENO Medical Marijuana Dispensaries committee.

Eastside Neighborhood Organization Suggestions for Medical Marijuana
Dispensaries Guidelines and Ordinances
1. The number of dispensaries on any given road (e.g., maximum of four per mile)
should be limited.
2. Medical marijuana dispensaries should be licensed, audited, and inspected similar to
pharmacies and businesses that handle controlled substances. Fees should support
the associated costs.
3. For dispensaries with available physician prescribers, patient records should be
maintained on-site. The record should document each visit, diagnosis, prognosis,
scripting and physician name
4. The state should issue pictures on any medical marijuana card to avoid theft and
misuse of these cards.
5. Institutions such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes present special problems
with second-hand smoke and the intoxicating side effects of marijuana. Special
attention must be given to keep these safe and healthy environments for everyone.
6. Smoking of marijuana should only take place in private residences and designated
areas in medical facilities.
7. Given the value and the fungible nature of marijuana, these dispensaries must assure
the security of their product. This is especially true of stores that are open 24 hours a
day.
8. Physicians issuing "prescriptions" must be licensed in the state of Michigan and
provide proof of professional liability insurance for the exposure in our state.
9. City and state regulations for the suppliers (which may be different than a grower)
should include a business license, transportation license, documentation of amounts
transported, etc.
10. A grace period should be established for new state residents to transfer medical
marijuana "prescriptions" from previous states until they can obtain Michigan Medical
Marijuana card.
11. The existing businesses should not be "grandfathered" in and be subject to the rules
and regulations when established.
12. An appropriate buffer should be required between dispensaries and schools,
hospitals, daycare centers, parks, churches, community centers, senior buildings,
missions, VOA, etc.
13. Growers should be licensed and limited in the amount they transport. Licenses should
not be transferrable or available for sale. The number of growers within a given area
should be limited
14. Marijuana sold in dispensaries must be pure, safe and effective. All products,
especially edible products, must have their ingredients listed and labeled per existing
state regulations.
15. Dispensaries must have enough parking per the City of Lansing ordinance for
businesses.
16. Businesses must be located within an "F1" commercial district.
