Gainesville City Council will meet today to hear two proposed ordinance amendments that will loosen restrictions on businesses hoping to open in the city. The first amendment has been proposed in the face of potential litigation from TitleMax. The existing ordinance requires pawnshops to be separated by at least 2,500 feet, and that condition had prohibited a new TitleMax from opening at 719 Jesse Jewell Parkway SW because Georgia Auto Pawn already is operating directly across the street.
