Good Post
Almost-New,
Not sure if you were addressing me or Brian with your question. I am not yet in the windshield repair biz, so I'm not qualified to answer any WSR specific questions. However, I am a commerical real estate appraiser, and I can tell you that zoning can be an issue. My best recommendation is to determine the zoning designation in your city/county and attempt to find the applicable zoning ordinance. Many cities now publish zoning regulations on the internet, but you will undoubtedly need to call the governing municipality to first find out what the zoning designation is. Depending on the socio-economic dynamics in your area, some municipalities can be real difficult to work with regarding roadside businesses or even trying to piggyback your business on someone elses property. I do agree with you though, I too am pretty much a "by the book" kind of person". I wouldn't want to be operating without legal precedence.
Hope this helps.
