Description
In 1959, the property in question was owned by Morris Duncan and used as a greenhouse plant nursery for orchids and other similar plants when it was annexed by the City of Phoenix and became subject to its zoning ordinances. It was then zoned residential and its use as a greenhouse plant nursery was a nonconforming use under the citys zoning ordinance. There was testimony that the nonconforming use as a greenhouse plant nursery ceased from 1981 to 1986. When Mr. Staffos, a predecessor of the Blakes, came on the property in 1978, the greenhouses were no longer used. Mr. Staffos began a wholesale cactus nursery and planted cactus on the property. The Blakes purchased the nursery in 1986 and expanded operations to cover the entire property. Now there is constant traffic changing the character of the property.
