PUBLIC HEARING:   Ordinance: Amend the Zoning Ordinance related to Alcohol Regulations   Accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance amending the City’s zoning code – that would do the following:  

• Bring City definitions of businesses that serve alcoholic beverages into conformance with Utah laws. ·         Replace the Alcohol Licensing Districts Map with using the zoning code to guide where businesses that serve alcoholic beverages can locate. 
• Revise tables of permitted and conditional uses to allow locating businesses that serve alcoholic beverages in zones including some commercial areas where businesses previously could not locate.
• Require that businesses that serve alcoholic beverages meet requirements adopted by the City Council in 2009 for social clubs located in Mixed Use and Residential Mixed Use zones.
• Continue to follow Utah law regarding spacing from “community facilities” such as schools, parks, and churches, and Utah law pertaining to the location of liquor stores.

Potential Action Items: consider adopting proposed ordinances for:  1)  parade regulation and 2)   regulation of feral cats that mirrors Salt Lake County code.
