Question: |
What effect does licensing have with zoning?
|
|
Answer:
|
Throughout the city every property is zoned. An example of this is C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, M-1, etc. Different zones permit and restrict the location of certain kinds of businesses and residential development. An example: if a restaurant located in a C-2 zone serves food and alcohol, it cannot have entertainment. Zoning for entertainment is only allowed in C-4, M-1, M-2, and certain downtown D zones.
If a licensed activity is permitted within a zoned area, the Board of Licenses cannot withhold a license if all the legal criteria for granting the license are met.
