What this means
The commission cleared two new business uses to move forward in Fairfield. Encon Equipment LLC was approved to operate a construction and large equipment rental, sales, and service business, but it must obtain occupancy approval, screen the dumpster, keep the site clean, avoid most outdoor storage, and pave the property within 3 years. Queen City Lift Haus was approved as a do-it-yourself auto repair workspace with rented bays, with limits on the type of repair allowed, no overnight vehicle storage, no body work or spray painting, and screening for any dumpster before opening.
