At the time, the business was <br />relocating from 25021 Lorain Road to its current location at 24137 Lorain Road. As this was an <br />existing business and the location was coming into greater conformance with the zoning code, <br />City Council waived the spacing and separation requirements of 3,000 feet from the next similar <br />business. The approval was also conditioned upon the store selling vape products only, which <br />
