2   No free standing establishments are permitted.

3   Not to exceed a total of 30,000 square feet of floor area with no more than 5,000 square feet of such floor area located outside of designated food courts in which a substantial part of the food or drink merchandised and sold has been prepared and packaged for consumption in an adjacent common eating area.

4   Not abutting or confronting any lot which is in a residential zone and is not recommended for commercial or industrial use on a master plan; and not within 800 feet of an entrance to a school, park, playground, or hospital.

5   A dry cleaning and laundry establishment larger than 3,000 square feet of gross floor area which existed on June 23, 2003 is a conforming use and may be continued, structurally altered, repaired or reconstructed, if the floor area devoted to the use is not increased, extended or enlarged beyond the floor area devoted to the use on June 23, 2003.  If a dry cleaning and laundry establishment larger than 3,000 square feet of gross floor area remains under the same ownership and control, it may relocate as a conforming use to another permitted site in any zone where it could have located before June 23, 2003.  Otherwise, a dry cleaning and laundry establishment that discontinues operations for more than six months must not be reestablished. However, a dry cleaning and laundry establishment that discontinues operations because of a fire, flood, natural disaster, or other event beyond the owner's control may be reestablished no later than one year after it last operated.

6   Such use may not exceed 5 percent of the total gross floor area nor more than 20,000 square feet of the gross floor area whichever is less, unless recommended in a master plan, where the maximum cannot exceed 100,000 square feet.
