If the motion is passed at this month’s City Planning meeting, Goodwill would then have to get a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) at their February 15 meeting due to their proximity to a school (Sacred Heart). City ordinance stipulates that a second hand store must not be within 700 ft of a school. For their part, the Goodwill store has taken steps to ensure that they are in compliance with all of the city ordinances. They needed to get 97 signa- tures of the approval from res- idents and ended up with 117.
