Valley City  (CSi)   The Valley City Zoning Commission discussed considering changing the former Pizza Corner factory’s zoning.

WDAY reports, after listening to concerns from neighbors, the commission opted to take the rezoning process to the next step, with the full City Commission addressing the situation and vote on it at the May meeting.

Neighbors to the former Pizza Corner factory say that for years its round-the-clock work made living next to it a nightmare.

The property’s owner, meanwhile, says he was forced to sell the business on his land because the city “singled him out.”

For 30 years, Valley City’s Dave Zubrod owned the Pizza Corner factory, until he decided he needed to expand to meet demand.

Zubrod believes the city treated him unfairly, claiming other businesses were given the correct zoning but not him, meaning he couldn’t expand his factory.

He said he was treated unfairly because he, “hired so many out-ot-towners.”
