Title
An Ordinance amending the definitions, and amending the requirements, for certain commercial or industrial uses in Commercial and Industrial Zones.
Background
The County Council enacted CB-46-2010 amending the Zoning Ordinance to add, eliminate, and clarify certain commercial uses, generally entertainment-oriented, for the purpose of assisting code enforcement efforts by County agencies.
During the review of CB-46-2010, discussions were held by the Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Committee regarding existing adult entertainment businesses which are operating under a different use and occupancy permit and the need to establish a process for these businesses to obtain certification as a nonconforming use. This legislation establishes that process and requires a Special Exception application for adult entertainment uses to be filed and accepted by June 1, 2012. The bill also amends parking requirements for certain commercial uses.
10/18/2011: Prior to introduction, CB-56-2011 (DR-2) was amended as follows:
1. On page 2 after line 32 add the following:
* * * * * * * * * * * *
(192) Recreational or Entertainment Establishment of a Commercial Nature: An establishment which provides entertainment, recreation, or amusement for profit. This term shall not include an "Amusement Arcade," "Reducing/Exercise Salon or Health Club," or a "Massage Establishment" but shall include any form of a “Rental Hall” or “Dance Hall” or “banquet hall” not sanctioned by another special exception or private club.
CB-56-2011 (DR-3) was introduced.
