§ 9-44.040. Amplified Music/Dancing

A.

Purpose. This Section provides development standards for locations having amplified music and/or dancing on the premises on a permanent basis, that are located adjacent to sensitive land uses.

B.

General standards for amplified music/dancing in all applicable zoning districts. Establishments requesting amplified music and/or dancing on a permanent basis, as defined in Article 8 (Glossary), shall be required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in compliance with Section 9-52.070 (Conditional Use Permits), if the following requirements are met:

1.

The amplified music/dancing site is located within 250 feet of any church, hospital, school, or public park; and

2.

The amplified music/dancing site is located within 250 feet of any residential zone.

Distances shall be measured from the nearest property line of the above uses of zones to the nearest exterior building or wall of the proposed amplified music/dancing site. After a project application has been deemed complete, the project will not be subjected to any further application of the distance requirements. Any conflicting use, such as a church, hospital, or school, which commences after the CUP application is "deemed complete" date, does not affect the amplified music/dancing establishment.

C.

Exemptions. These standards shall not apply to uses requesting amplified music/dancing on a temporary basis. Occasional dances at churches, schools, and community center are exempt from the requirement for a CUP, but must comply with requirements for Dance Permits, SVMC Section 5-7.02.
