Update of Enforcement of Zoning Regulations

In an effort to further enable the important delivery of food to our community, effective immediately, Zoning Ordinance provisions and County Board approved conditions associated with use permits and site plans will not be enforced for the following commercial retail, restaurant and food establishments, or building uses:

  • Drive thru facilities
  • Food Delivery Service (groceries, and food and beverages to off-site locations)
  • Parking lot/Sidewalk sales associated with retail/restaurant establishments
  • Provision of signs for retail and restaurants establishments on-site indicating the availability of pick up, drive thru facilities, and food delivery service
  • County Board approved loading dock hours with special exception site plans and use permits

These things will be incorporated into the County Board’s Continuity of Operations Ordinance at such time as it is amended in the future. All the other zoning and ordinance regulations are still enforced.
