Committee advances limits on overnight hours for some retail uses in parts of 5th District
Summary
Rules Committee adopted an amendment and reported bill 250,988 out of committee; the ordinance would add special-exception requirements and an 11 p.m.–6 a.m. restriction for certain consumer-goods retail uses on specified corridors in the 5th Council District, with exemptions for restaurants with liquor licenses, fueling stations and pharmacies.
Councilmember Jeffrey Young introduced bill 250,988 as a response to the spread of 24-hour retail outlets selling CBD, kratom and other products he and constituents link to nuisance or criminal activity. Young said the draft ordinance would prevent some of those stores from operating 24/7 on parts of the commercial corridors in the 5th Council District and require greater accountability to neighboring communities.
