Motion setting a public hearing for May 4, 2021 on an ordinance to
amend Title 14 Zoning to allow the continuance and expansion of
nonconforming drinking establishments when located on property
in a Historic Overlay District (OHD) zone and where vacant for at
least two years. (RE790-0015)
Comment The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider this amendment at their
upcoming April 15 meeting. Approval would allow drinking establishments that are legally
nonconforming due to the minimum separation distance requirement to continue where
they are on property in a Historic Overlay District (OHD) zone and Where they have
remained vacant for at least two years. These uses can also expand into spaces that meet
those two requirements as well. The purpose is to incentivize historic preservation
downtown and to fill vacant storefronts where viable businesses have not yet been
established.

Ordinance amending Title 4, entitled "Alcoholic Beverages," and Title 10,
entitled "Public Ways and Property," to allow alcohol in parte shelters.
(Second Consideration)
Comment Currently persons may only possess and consume alcohol in a park with a permit or
written agreement This ordinance loosens that restriction to allow beer and wine to be possessed
and consumed in conjunction with any shelter reservation except for the shelters in Napoleon and

14. Cable Franchise -Telecommunications Comm.
Ordinance amending Title 12, entitled "Franchise," Chapter 4, entitled
"Cable Television," to repeal the cable television franchise ordinance.
S (First Consideration)
Comment The Citys local franchise agreement with Mediaoom expired in 2018, and Mediaoom
now operates pursuant to a state franchise. Because the requirements for a state franchise are
more favorable than the Citys, it is highly unlikely that a company would ever apply for a local
franchise, and this ordinance repeals the local franchise provision. With the repeal, the
Telecommunications Commission will also be dissolved.
