1. 211537 A substitute ordinance relating to zoning regulations for theaters in
various downtown zoning districts.
Sponsors: Ald. Bauman
Mr. Osterman said that the proposed ordinance would change the use classification of
a theater in the C9G downtown zoning district from permitted use to limited use, with
the limited use being that the capacity of the building shall not exceed 2,000 persons;
otherwise, if the standard was not met, the theater shall be a special use requiring
Board of Zoning Appeals approval.
Members had no objection and said that the proposed ordinance met the criteria of the
committee.
Member Richardson moved that the proposed ordinance meets the standards of
legality and enforceability, administrative efficiency, and consistency with the format of
the zoning code. There was no objection.
Meeting adjourned at 3:04 p.m.
