(xiv) If two or more violent incidents, documented by the police department, occur on or in direct connection with the event space/banquet hall within any twelve (12) month period, the zoning administrator shall initiate proceedings for the automatic reconsideration of the event space/banquet hall’s use permit by city council. The zoning administrator shall notify the owner and operator in writing, and the matter shall be docketed for review by city council within sixty (60) days of the notification. In conducting its review, city council may revoke, amend, or impose new conditions on the use permit if deemed advisable in city council’s legislative discretion to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. (xv) Off Street Parking and Shuttle Service: (aa) If the off-street parking requirement for the event space/banquet hall under the zoning ordinance is to be satisfied by utilizing off-street parking areas not located on the same parcel as the use, then a shared parking agreement or lease agreement must be submitted for review and approved as to form by the City Attorney. The shared parking agreement must specify the location, number of spaces, duration of use, and hours of availability. (bb) All off-street parking areas must be located within an 800-foot walking distance of the event space/banquet hall unless a shuttle system is provided. If a shuttle system is provided, the event space/banquet hall owner or operator must provide a shuttle plan for review and approval. (cc) Failure to maintain the availability of required off-street parking shall constitute a violation of the zoning approval and may be grounds for revocation of this use permit.

(bb) The establishment must operate at all times in full compliance with the requirements and conditions of the ABC license, including without limitation membership requirements, service restrictions, and operational limitations, and in full compliance with any other condition, requirement, or limitation imposed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority. Without limitation, an establishment’s use permit may be revoked by city council for any violation of a general or specific condition imposed by the Authority, including a condition incorporated by reference or arising from any conditions, requirements, or limitations imposed on any aspect of the operation of the establishment by the Authority or by Virginia law. (cc) The establishment must submit proof of a valid ABC license prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy and upon each license renewal or modification. (dd) An ABC manager, employed and compensated by the operator, shall be present at all events held on the premises. This manager shall supervise the event at all times. The ABC manager shall be present on the premises at least one hour prior to the beginning of the event and shall remain on the premises until the event is concluded and the establishment is secured and locked. If alcohol is not served or consumed, a responsible supervisor, employed and compensated by the operator, shall perform this function. (ee) The suspension, revocation, non-renewal or voluntary surrender of an ABC license for an establishment shall automatically trigger review of the establishment’s use permit by the zoning administrator. Upon review, the zoning administrator may initiate proceedings for city council to consider revocation of the use permit. The suspension, revocation, non-renewal or voluntary surrender of an ABC license shall constitute grounds for revocation of the use permit by city council.
