Controlled Uses

Jonathan Watson

The term “controlled uses” generally indicates a zone where business that are considered to have “objectionable secondary impacts” will be located.[1] These businesses will be subject not only to restriction within certain zones, but also not be permitted to locate near single-family homes, parks, schools, etc. Examples of businesses restricted in these ways include adult bookstores, adult motion picture theaters, pawnshops, pool halls, adult cabarets, and tattooing businesses.
