The council could once again take up allowing several new types of businesses as special uses in the B-4 Corridor Business District. They include indoor or outdoor commercial entertainment or recreational facilities including theatres, bowling alleys, swimming pools, billiard parlors, etc. The planning commission has already approved the changes.
