The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A.

In the <br /> Code under the general heading of`Processing'are a list of types ofprocesses <br /> that would be allowed in the district. Processes would include conducting <br /> certain manufacturing, fabrication, storage, or wholesaling operations. The <br /> I district lists"automobile and truck painting,major repair,body and fender <br /> work,upholstering,tire recapping and sales when completely enclosed within <br /> a building." This would allow auto sales as a wholesale operation. <br /> B. The Orono zoning ordinance does not permit"retail sales"in the I,Industrial <br /> zoning district. Retail use of the property for automobile sales in the classic <br /> sense,i.e.general customer visits for the purposes of purchasing a vehicle or <br /> , parts, is not permitted on the properiy.
