Subject: Outdoor activity area must be accessory
Effective Date: 3/96
Interpretation:
These Sections define "outdoor activity area" for the Neighborhood Commercial and Mixed Use Districts respectively as, "...an area provided for the use or convenience of patrons of a commercial establishment, including, but not limited to, sitting, eating, drinking, dancing, and food-service activities." Such activities are normally associated with uses that must be within enclosed buildings pursuant to Section 703.2(b)(1). Section 703.2(b)(1) acknowledges that some uses allowed in the Neighborhood Commercial District are intrinsically or appropriately outdoor uses but not by virtue of the definition of an outdoor activity area which must be associated with a primary use and not constitute a primary outdoor use by itself.
