To change Mentors Code, references to hotel and motel in 1155.01 will have to be
stricken with more precise definitions, as per the following examples:
(j)
(l)
(m)
(o)
-- Old Village - OV
(16) Hotel, inn, bed-and-breakfast and any similar places of overnight
accommodation all only upon issuance of a conditional use permit
Hotel, transient (only upon issuance of a conditional use permit)
Bed-and-Breakfast (only upon issuance of a conditional use permit)
Legal Counsel has noted it would be ideal if the Code were structured in a more precise
manner to unambiguously convey exactly what type of use(s) within a broader industry
classification are permitted, to the exclusion of others. It may be advisable to add
additional prefatory language in Chapter 1155 to make it clear that where the Code
specifies such sub-types of uses as permitted, then, it shall mean that other sub-types are
not permitted.
