Board amends cabaret licensing rules ahead of music festival
Summary
The county amended chapter 8.02 (cabaret licensing) to align approvals for large events with conditional use and activity control permits; sponsor cited a festival working with planning and sheriff's office and urged approval. Supervisor Pollock said he had concerns about code placement but did not block passage.
Supervisors approved Ordinance 8, amending the Kenosha County municipal code related to cabaret licenses to require more comprehensive review for events such as music festivals.
The sponsor said that large events already work with Planning and Development and the sheriff’s office to ensure safety and that the ordinance brings cabaret licensing into a framework that may include activity control licenses and conditional use permits. He specifically cited an upcoming music festival as an example of an event that has coordinated with county departments.
Supervisor Pollock, who voted against the committee recommendation, said his objection was to language placement (he preferred chapter 12 regarding conditional use permits) but told the board he would not stand in the way of final passage. The board approved the ordinance by voice vote.
