Cudahy council removes ‘tobacco stores’ as conditional uses in B-2 and B-3 zones
Summary
The Common Council approved Ordinance No. 2550 to repeal and recreate Municipal Code sections 44-368(17) and 44-406(24), removing tobacco stores and specialty tobacco shops as conditional uses in the city’s B-2 and B-3 commercial districts. The measure passed 3–1 after a public hearing with no public comment.
The City of Cudahy Common Council voted to remove tobacco stores and specialty tobacco shops as conditional uses in its B-2 and B-3 zoning districts, approving Ordinance No. 2550 on Dec. 3, 2024.
Ald. St. Marie-Boelkow moved to adopt the ordinance and Ald. Jankowski seconded. After a public hearing at which no members of the public commented, the council approved the ordinance on a roll-call vote: Ald. Haines, Ald. Jankowski and Ald. St. Marie-Boelkow voted in favor; Ald. Phillips opposed. The motion carried.
The ordinance repeals and recreates sections 44-368(17) and 44-406(24) of the City of Cudahy Municipal Code to remove “Tobacco Stores and Specialty Tobacco shops” as conditional uses in the listed commercial districts. The minutes do not specify an effective date for the ordinance.
Supporters on the council framed the change as a zoning amendment; the public hearing drew no comments. The council record contains no additional conditions, site-specific exemptions, or text amendments beyond the repeal/recreation language recorded in the minutes.
The measure was introduced during the hearing portion of the meeting and adopted in the ordinance section that followed. The council’s action alters the list of uses that may require conditional-use approval in B-2 and B-3 districts but does not, in the minutes, describe enforcement steps or pending applications affected by the change.
