Proposal
This ordinance creates temporary exceptions to conditional use permit requirements for restaurants and bars in specific commercial corridors including Washington Avenue, Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue, 71st Street/Normandy Drive, and 41st Street. The initiative aims to streamline the approval process and fill vacant storefronts by allowing administrative review instead of Planning Board review for qualifying establishments.
