Planning commission approves conditional-use permit for Sean Blake to receive firearms shipments at home
Summary
The Petersburg Borough Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit allowing Sean Blake to receive firearms shipped to his home for transfers, limited to personal transfers and friends/family, with no on-site inventory, according to the applicant.
The Petersburg Borough Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit for Sean Blake to operate a limited home-based firearms transfer point at 1309 Joa/Joe Street.
Sean Blake, the applicant, told the commission he is seeking a federal firearms-license-related accommodation so he can receive firearms ordered online and complete transfers to himself and to friends and family. He said he does not plan to maintain inventory or a business storefront at the residence. “I’m not trying to open a business at my house or anything,” Blake told the commission. “I’m not gonna have stockpiles ammo. I’m not gonna have any of that there.”
A commissioner moved to approve the application “subject to the findings of fact and the proposed conditions of approval outlined in this report.” The commission then recorded a roll-call vote; the named commissioners on the roll call recorded yes votes and the motion passed. The staff report and the conditions of approval were referenced at the hearing; the transcript does not include the full text of those conditions.
The permit allows transfers consistent with the commission’s findings and conditions; staff will apply the conditions included in the file when preparing the permit. Blake said his intent is to receive items he orders for personal use and to process transfers for friends and family, not to operate a retail business at the residence.
