Gifford Neighborhood Plan Existing Conditions Non-residential non-conforming uses exist along 43`d Street as well as sporadically throughout Gifford. As shown in Figure 4, the area just west of U.S. Highway 1, along 43`d Street, is zoned CL, Limited Commercial District. Although several bottle clubs operate in that area of Gifford, such establishments are not permitted in the CL zoning district. Another non-conforming use is the Green Leaf Bar, located in a residential neighborhood (along 38th Avenue).
