Response 10/13/06 - There are two definitions in the UDO that define private
clubs or lodges. A club or lodge, membership means a building or facility
owned and operated on a membership basis for fraternal, recreational, religious
and social purposes. A club or lodge, not for profit means a building or
facility operated on a nonprofit basis for cultural, fraternal, recreational,
religious and social purposes. In order for an organization to go into either
of these two zones as a special exception, they would have to meet these
definitions. Night clubs/bars/pubs are defined differently under the UDO. A
bar and lounge is defined as an establishment that is devoted primarily to the
sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on premises.
These definitions give us enough clear distinction between the uses to provide
for a use determination in such cases. If a particular use cannot meet the
definition of a club or lodge, then it will not be considered for a special
exception use in these zones. RJ
