The Stockbridge City Council voted unanimously at its Oct. 14 regular meeting to approve an ordinance amendment establishing interim standards for businesses impacted by the city’s current moratorium.
Tire shops, vape shops, thrift or consignment shops and used appliance shops will be limited to three permits each unless the city’s population exceeds 30,000 residents, after which one new license can be permitted for every 5,000 residents above the 30,000 threshold. For the above business types as well as hair salon/barber shops, nail salons, pawn/lending shops, auto shops and tattoo shops, no new permits will be granted for a business within one mile of another existing business of the same type.
The amended ordinance also specifies new guidelines for places of assembly and their proposed locations.
