Memo/Ordinance Change for amusement Divices in the B-1/B-2 DistrictMEMORANDUM
DATE: August 15, 1989
TO: Zoning and Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy S. Anderson
SUBJECT: Ordinance change for amusement devices in the
B -1/B -2 districts
The Commission had requested that an ordinance be drafted
that would limit the number of amusement devices based on
the square footage of the building in the B -1/B -2 districts.
Attached is the requested ordinance that would limit the
number of amusement devices in the B -1 /B -2 districts. The
number of amusement devices is based on the square footage
of the building. The larger the building the more amusement
devices are allowed.
Below are examples of the number of amusements devices that
several existing businesses can have:
ARCHIES 2546 Square Feet 7 Amusement devices
MAINSTREET BAR 4770 Square Feet 13 Amusement devices
MITCHES TAVERN 2764 Square Feet 8 Amusement devices
I determined the ratio of 350 square feet to one by knowing
the square footage of the buildings and how many amusement
devices the existing businesses have now. I then determined
a ratio that would not have the amusement devices become the
principal use. It may be somewhat arbitrary, but there are
no other cities that I could use their ordinance as an
example. The Commission can change the ratio to a larger or
smaller number.
