SEC. 249.35. FRINGE FINANCIAL SERVICE RESTRICTED USE DISTRICT. (a) Findings.

The unchecked proliferation of these businesses has the potential to displace other financial service providers, including charter banks, which offer a much broader range of financial services, as well as other desired commercial development in the City, which provides a broad range of neighborhood commercial goods and services.
