Approved 6.5.24 <br /> 1048 <br /> 1049 Chris Johnston: Take it out of the Conditional Zoning District, the NRCD, where I believe it was placed- <br /> 1050 <br /> 1051 Charity Kirk: Well, so what's the alternative? <br /> 1052 <br /> 1053 Chris Johnston: So, the alternative is to have it blank across the board. <br /> 1054 <br /> 1055 Adam Beeman: You can't do it anywhere. <br /> 1056 <br /> 1057 Chris Johnston: You simply cannot do that in Orange County that we take it out of the Conditional Zoning <br /> 1058 because we feel that given the language from the Health Board and from the County Commissioners that to ut it <br /> 1059 in there would be to waste the applicant's time. <br /> 1060 <br /> 1061 Charity Kirk: Sure, I'll second that. <br /> 1062 <br /> 1063 Delores Bailey: So, doesn't that further make Beth's point about if you tell them they can't have it they'll put <br /> 1064 it someplace else and it'll just— <br /> 1065 <br /> 1066 Chris Johnston: I think that argument is if you tell them they can't, they put it somewhere else is true of any <br /> 1067 law, right? Like if you make murder illegal they're going to go murder somewhere else or something like that. <br /> 1068 <br /> 1069 Charity Kirk: Lamar's point is if you limited these, and Beth, too, to just 12 it's going to be even worse. <br /> 1070 <br /> 1071 Delores Bailey: But to put it no place? <br /> 1072 <br /> 1073 Charity Kirk: Well, then it has to go in stores that are selling 50 percent or more of something else. <br /> 1074 <br /> 1075 Liz Kalies: I was going to say, do we have the authority to say we can't have... I mean, what if I said 1 <br /> 1076 don't like massage businesses, can we take them off the list? <br /> 1077 <br /> 1078 Cy Stober: Um, you could petition the Board to do that. <br /> 1079 <br /> 1080 Liz Kalies: We actually have that authority? <br /> 1081 <br /> 1082 Cy Stober: Well, to make a recommendation on behalf of the Board. <br /> 1083 <br /> 1084 Chris Johnston: I guess my take is just if everyone agrees that there's reason that the Board would say no to <br /> 1085 these things due to health concerns or whatever the case may be, what are we doing? <br /> 1086 <br /> 1087 Statler GiIfillen: You're saying that this would be basically a non-allowed use in the county. <br /> 1088 <br /> 1089 Chris Johnston: Yes, that is correct. <br /> 1090 <br /> 1091 Statler GiIfillen: Why don't we just state it. "This is a non-allowed use?" <br /> 1092 <br /> 1093 Lamar Proctor: Well, that's what he's saying. <br /> 1094 <br /> 1095 Chris Johnston: I don't that I even agree with that, but what I'm hearing from everybody and everything here <br /> 1096 is that the vibe is that we are trying to limit the exposure in the county. And so if that's the idea, anywhere in the <br /> 1097 county is in the county, and so to have it open and not mean it is worse than to have it or not have it. <br />
