§ 7.48.04. Conditional use permit required.

All sexually oriented businesses shall be considered a conditional use pursuant to the city zoning ordinance or [this] Code, and all sexually oriented businesses shall secure a conditional use permit from the city planning commission in accordance with the rules and regulations of said zoning ordinance or code prior to opening a business or being issued an occupation license. A sexually oriented business shall only be allowed in C-2 zoning, however the owner or operator of such business may apply to the planning commission for the rezoning of any land owned by the owner or operator or leased by the owner or operator for the purpose of operating a sexually oriented business, and with the approval of the planning commission have such land rezoned C-2 if the land and location complies with the other provisions of this ordinance and the planning commission decides that C-2 is the highest and best use of the land. A conditional use permit will still be required after the property is rezoned and such conditional permit may be issued by the planning commission only if all other conditions of this chapter are met by the proposed location.
