The purpose of this Chapter is to establish specific standards for pawnshops which purchase and sell secondhand tangible personal property incidental to their primary business (such as a jewelry store which purchases gold/jewelry) to ensure that such businesses are appropriately located and operated so as to not pose a significant threat to the public health, safety, and welfare by curtailing the dissemination of stolen property and facilitating the recovery of stolen property. The development standards of this Chapter shall apply to all Pawnshops in the city.
