Code Amendment (CA) 26-005 — bars as conditional uses
Description
The council kicked off a study to require conditional use permits for new bars instead of allowing them by right; existing bars are grandfathered, and amendments will return through the Planning Commission.
Impact summary
New bar proposals would face public hearings, neighbor notification within 1,000 feet, conditions and possible revocation; existing bars continue operating as legal nonconforming uses.
