12/05/2024 City Council Public Hearing - Ordinance O-2023-16-C Relating to Permitted Uses in the Downtown Core and Commerce Districts

Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held before the Keene City Council relative to Ordinance O-2023-16-C “Relating to Permitted Uses in the Downtown Core and Commerce Districts.”  The Petitioner, the City of Keene Community Development Department, proposes to amend Section 8.3.2. of Article 8 of the Land Development Code (LDC) to add a definition for “Charitable Gaming Facility” and amend Table 8-1 and Table 5.1.5 to display “Charitable Gaming Facility” as a permitted use in the Commerce District with limitations. The most recent version of this ordinance includes a requirement for Charitable Gaming Facilities to be a minimum distance of 250 ft from multifamily properties and removes the requirement for this use to provide electric vehicle charging stations. In addition, the petitioner proposes to amend Section 8.4.2.C.2.a of Article 8 of the LDC to remove drive-through uses as a permitted use by Special Exception in the Downtown Core District.
