Opening a new neighborhood bar could become more difficult
Quad-City TImes
DAVENPORT, Iowa (Quad-City Times) A temporary pause on the opening of new neighborhood bars in certain parts of Davenport in an effort to crack down on nuisance establishments could become permanent.
Davenport aldermen will meet Wednesday to consider approving the first of three readings of a proposed ordinance amending various city zoning codes.
Among the recommended changes is removing bars and minor vehicle repair services as a special use in neighborhood commercial zoning districts, mainly clustered along Locust, Harrison, Brady and Washington streets and parts of Rockingham Road.
Existing neighborhood bars would not be impacted by the zoning change. They would be considered legal nonconforming grandfathered uses, said Laura Berkley, city development and planning administrator.
