160780 01.OrdinanceAn ordinance relating to the limited-use standards for indoor storage facilities in the industrial-commercial zoning district.

Minutes note: Individuals present: Bob Harris - Dept. of City Development Mr. Richardson said the department is trying to limit the use of indoor storage as the large facilities tend to take away from the other things they're trying to do in a district. This ordinance would prohibit indoor storage as a right, but would allow some limited use under specific circumstances. It is basically a tweaking of the language. Mr. Richardson moved approval as it meets zoning code technical criteria, seconded by Mr. Stephens. There were no objections.

150789 02.OrdinanceA substitute ordinance relating to zoning regulations for adult establishments.

Minutes note: Individuals present: Ald. Jim Bohl, file sponsor LaKeisha Butler - Assistant City Attorney Ald. Bohl said this is an effort that will work with a licensing and policing provision to license adult establishments in a response to various litigation that has been going on since 2010. This would define "adult establishments" and create it as a limited use in industrial light districts and setback requirements from other uses, such as churches, residences, schools, etc. This would allow these businesses areas where they can locate as a matter of right, which is required by the case law. The measurement cited as far as location is from the edge of the adult entertainment building to the lot line of the adjoining lot. The Department of Neighborhood Services does have the capability to measure this distance. The language as drafted was acceptable to all. Adult establishments do create negative secondary impacts, including economic impacts. Mr. Richardson moved that this met the zoning code technical criteria, seconded by Mr. Roberts. There were no objections.
