Every American should be able to do whatever they want with their property. Zoning should not be a thing. [/quote] I disagree. Let the home based auto repair guy or the AirBNB, or the daycare move in next to your house and see how you like it. [/quote] It's mostly about traffic, parking spots being taken up, and maybe noise problems from the place. You can't just turn a house into a bar and charge for alcohol / drinks. Drunk drivers leaving the place and swerving down the road... [/quote] Jesus Christ Dude, the city is complaining that he is using it as a [b]residence[/b] as per the video and article. While it is [b]zoned as a public facility[/b]. "Kroon was ordered to "discontinue all unauthorized uses including but not limited to office and residence" because "the legally established use of the property is as a public facility (fire station.)" I tried to point out your error and you literally doubled down on stupid. [/quote]
Original Message
SEATTLE — Kroon purchased the property from the City of Seattle in a 2012 auction.
Kroon told KIRO 7 he “thought we had essentially bought a residential property” for $712,000.
The Seattle man then spent thousands of dollars on interior remodeling, and for more than three years, his extended family and friends used the firehouse for holidays, celebrations, charity fundraisers, graduation parties and as an office until a Land Use Notice of Violation arrived in July of 2016.
According to the City of Seattle's violation letter, a "complaint about this property" had been received. A Housing and Zoning Inspector "investigated" and found "violations of the Seattle Land Use Code."
