The police have great difficulty investigating potentially stolen property at pawn
shops because the many pawn transactions are recorded on paper; existing zoning
regulations may be allowing pawn shops to locate in in.appropriate business
districts.
This moratorium has been requested by the Office of License, Inspections, and
Environmental Protection and Police Department. �
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
This will be part o£ a revamping of the laws concerning pawn shops; licensing
regulations could be changed to-require electronic recording of pawn transaotions
and zoning regulations could be changed to allow pawn shops only in the most
,appropriate business districts.
