This man who lives RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT ON FLORIDA STREET has an ongoing garage sale EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. At what point does he need to get a business license and permit for this BUSINESS??

This is the least of the areas problems, City Codes say:
G. Residents shall be allowed to hold a "garage sale" to sell personal and household items from their residence, subject to the following standards:
1. Residents of a one-unit or two-unit residence shall be allowed to hold a garage sale a maximum of three weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday - and Monday if it is a legal holiday) in a twelve consecutive month period.
2. Residents of an apartment or condominium complex consisting of three or more units shall be allowed to hold a garage sale as many times as allowed by the apartment manager or owner's association board, but no more than six weekends in a twelve consecutive month period. However, the sale shall not be conducted in a manner which will preclude the use of any parking space, or interfere with traffic moving through the property.
3. Neighborhood or "block" garage sales, where at least three households participate, shall be subject to the three weekend limit. 4. Signage. Signage shall comply with the requirements of
Chapter 16.64. However, signs advertising the garage sale, or giving directions thereto, shall not be erected before five p.m. the day before the sale and shall be removed before eight a.m. the day following the sale.
Hope this answers your questions. Looks like they are in compliance.

Legalistically: strict adherence, or the principle of strict adherence, to law or prescription, especially to the letter rather than the spirit.
So you don't want the City Code information, Theo? Great for you, others might want to know how things work in our government. I'm no lawyer, never going to be a lawyer, but I try to educate myself before putting fourth suggestions for major changes to existing laws and codes.
If you feel the "spirit" of the law is being broken, get your soapbox down to City Hall and effect some change, it won't likely happen here. Although I'm still listening and maybe some others too, keep expressing yourself. If the majority concur, the laws will change. (Democracy)
