CONSIDERATION OF A CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS SECTION 4.3.3(V)(2) "USES INVOLVING
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES" BY ESTABLISHING SUBSECTION 4.3.3(V)(2)(c) TO
PROVIDE A METHOD OF DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR A STAND ALONE
BAR USE.
t "', "
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of November 28, 2003, the City Commission approved an ordinance amending the
definitions and regulations concerning alcoholic beverages. The amendment was processed in
order to obtain consistency with State Statutes as they relate to the definition of Alcoholic
Beverages, to provide clarification and establish a distance limitation between stand alone bars. In
addition, the definition of Alcoholic Beverage Establishment was modified and defmitions of Stand
Alone Bar and Bottle Club were added to be consistent with State Statutes. The intent of the
regulations is to prevent the proliferation of cocktail lounges and bars in any given area throughout
the City. The adopted regulations provide a specific distance limitation and method of
measurement as follows:
"Not more than one stand alone bar shall be located within anyone block nor within seven hundred
and fifty (750) feet of another stand alone bar measured from lot line to lot line in a straight line."
The attached ordinance provides a process to establish a stand alone bar and a method of
determining eligibility for a stand alone bar. The ordinance includes submission requirements and a
time frame of sixty (60) days to establish the use once the applicant is notified that the use may be
established. The ordinance also includes a method to allow stand alone bar uses when more than
one person or entity desires to establish a stand alone bar and only one can be accommodated
under current restrictions and distance limitations. If for any reason the City is unable to determine
who was first eligible or is unable to determine if a use was legally established and operational
withm the time permitted, the Planning and Zoning Board shall review all valid submissions and
provide a recommendation to the City Commission. The City Commission will make a
determination of which stand alone bar use is the most compatible with surrounding uses based on
the criteria listed in the ordinance.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LDR amendment must be based upon a
finding that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of
the Comprehensive Plan The proposed LDR amendment provides clarification to the existing
ordinance. The amendment provides a process to establish a stand alone bar and a method of
determining eligibility for a stand alone bar use. While the amendment does not fulfill a specific
Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with them.
