FLORENCE — Officials may join together countywide to pass legislation that would restrict adult entertainment businesses.
Members of the Boone County Fiscal Court and Florence City Council discussed possible actions at a joint meeting Tuesday night.
Florence Mayor Diane Ewing Whalen said she thought the county should take a proactive approach.
“I don't want to be chasing them,” she said.
Boone County Commissioner Rob Arnold said the fiscal court is already working with Kenton County on legislation.
“Once we got it finished we were going to forward it on to you,” Mr. Arnold said. “We are working on that issue.”
Although the county could not eliminate the businesses, it could restrict location, he said.
The group also talked about the update of the county's comprehensive plan, a document that guides development over time.
Officials are reviewing its goals and objectives. Later this summer, county officials will hold a public hearing. Late in 2000, the county will discuss zoning.
Kevin Costello, director of the Boone County Planning Commission, said all drafts and updates are published on the Boone County Web site, and the final plan will be produced on a CD for purchase.
City and county officials also discussed the status of the justice center to be built in Burlington. The county is acquiring land for the project. The building would initially be 60,000 square feet with the possibility of expansion to 100,000 square feet. It will hold the district, circuit and family courts.
