The city council is concerned about the possible impacts of reception, banquet, rental,
and/or meeting halls outside of the downtown, including, but not limited to noise,
traffic, parking, public safety and hours of operation. The city council is concerned
that that these impacts may have a negative impact on neighborhood livability. The
city council is concerned about possible lack of alignment between zoning and licensing
standards, regulations and definitions for these uses. The city council is interested
in protecting the livability of the study area by examining issues such as parking
and hours of operation and whether the existing zoning and licensing regulations are
consistent with one another and with the policies of the comprehensive plan. As a
result of the important land use, licensing and zoning issues cited above, the city,
through its planning division in cooperation with regulatory services, will conduct
studies to consider possible amendments to the official zoning and licensing controls.
The city council finds that the interim ordinance should be adopted to protect the
planning process and the public health, safety, aesthetics, economic viability, and
general welfare of the city. (2008-Or-083, § 1, 11-7-08)
