Not sure if this includes the use of storage facilities of food store in mixed-use building- outside in a yard. It is now used as distribution center for delivery workers, not necessarily for food but for packages to distribute to neighboring buildings. Such is the case in my building. Days and nights of pounding from dropped packages and boxes, sorted, loaded and unloaded. Why on earth is this acceptable, either with a license or not! It is time to think about people who live in/near these places and not just the businesses. Sadly, our govt seems to be putting both of these in conflict with each other.
