City Nightlife Rules Approved; Nightlife License Still To Come
posted by August 14 at 12:48 PM
onAt yesterday’s meeting, the city council unanimously affirmed a two-week-old vote by the council’s neighborhoods committee adopting new regulations for nightclubs. The legislation gives the city the ability to shut down clubs for overcrowding; requires all clubs to come up with a written security plan; proposes a new nightlife enforcement team; and directs the mayor to propose additional regulations on clubs, including training for club security and licensing for promoters. Club owners and lobbyists joined the city council in supporting the new rules. Put off for at least a few more weeks: The far more controversial nightlife license, which would now be limited to violent incidents inside large clubs, and the new noise ordinance. The neighborhoods committee, chaired by Sally Clark, will take up the latest version of the license at its meeting this Thursday, August 16, at the High Point Community Center.
