Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING COMMERCIAL KITCHENS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES for the purpose of allowing catering or food processing for offsite consumption in certain commercial kitchens located in residential zones.

Background

Current Zoning Ordinance regulations do not allow nonprofit organizations that have a commercial kitchen located within their facility to rent their kitchen space to for profit entities.  This legislation amends the residential zone use table to allow kitchens as an accessory use for commercial food or beverage preparation within certain nonprofit organization uses permitted in residential zones.
