There is hereby created the “F-B - Food-Beverage Overlay District” (also referred to in this Ordinance as “F-B Overlay District”).

Immediately upon the adoption of this ordinance, areas within the corporate limits of the City of Leonard that fall within the area(s) described in Appendix 2 shall constitute F-B Overlay Districts.

Editor’s note–Appendix 2 is not printed herein.

The regulations contained in this section are intended to be overlay zoning and will be applied in conjunction with all underlying zoning that currently exists within an F-B Overlay District. The regulations of the underlying zoning, and all other applicable regulations, remain in effect. If provisions of the F-B Overlay District conflict with provisions of the underlying zoning or any other regulations, the provisions of the F-B Overlay District shall prevail.

It shall be unlawful for any Food-Beverage Store to be constructed, erected, or placed closer than 500 feet to another existing Food-Beverage Store unless the City Council grants a special use permit for a particular establishment that wishes to develop a Food-Beverage Store less than 500 feet from an existing Food-Beverage Store. An establishment is considered to be an “existing Food-Beverage Store” once the final plat for its development has been approved by the City Council, even if it is not yet constructed or operational.

The measurement of the distance between Food-Beverage Stores shall be along the property lines of the street fronts and from front door to front door, and in direct line across intersections.
