Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance is submitted to City Council for the purpose of approving the application of Morso Holding Co. to modify the boundaries of an existing Community Entertainment District (CED) and designate two new CEDs within the Easton area. The CED designation was created by the General Assembly to facilitate development of entertainment and cultural districts. Guidelines for establishing CEDs are contained in ORC 4301.80 with additional guidance found in City Ordinance 2143-00. Establishment of a district does allow for additional liquor licenses in the designated area. Subsequent liquor option questions relating to the CED would be decided by a community-wide referendum as opposed to a precinct level vote. Columbus currently has four CEDs: Easton Town Center, Brewery District, Arena District and the Continent. The original Easton Town Center CED was approved by City Council through City Ordinance 0002-2001. The Ohio Revised Code requires that City Council approve or disapprove the designation of a Community Entertainment District within 75 days of the date of the application's submission. The application was submitted on October 14, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The designation of a Community Entertainment District will have no fiscal impact. However, a successful Community Entertainment District has the potential to create additional tax revenue to the city.
