Southaven aldermen clarify that quick-service restaurants require conditional use permits under chart 4
Summary
A resolution amending city ordinance Title 13, Chapter 12, Section 13-12 (Chart 4) will clarify that quick-service and similar restaurants require conditional use permits; the board authorized the mayor to sign the ordinance.
The Board of Aldermen authorized an amendment to the city zoning ordinance (Title 13, Chapter 12, Section 13-12, Chart 4) to clarify that quick-service restaurants and similar facilities require conditional use permits.
City staff told the board the change restores clarity to the conditional-use chart by explicitly listing fast-food or quick-service restaurants, removing ambiguity about whether the facilities must obtain conditional use approval. The mayor asked for authorization for the mayor’s signature so the chart amendment can be codified.
Alderman Payne moved to approve the ordinance amendment and Alderman Gallagher seconded. Members expressed that the change gives more discretion to the Board of Aldermen regarding those restaurant types; the motion passed on roll call.
City staff characterized this as a clarification rather than a new restriction; the meeting record did not include specific language from the amended chart or examples of how it will change prior approvals.
