Section 2 - That under the provisions of Article 6-7 of the Zoning Ordinance, the following use restrictions are imposed via conditional zoning:
a. Prohibited Uses:
i. Automobile service stations
II. Miniature golf courses
III. Carnivals and Circuses, even on a temporary basis

vi. Gasoline pumps
vII. Mining of non-metallic minerals
vIII. Parking lots and structures, other than as an accessory use
ix. Rental of equipment whose retail sale would otherwise be permitted in a B-1 zone
x. Minor automobile repair
These restrictions are appropriate and necessary for the following reasons:
1. To protect the character of the Aylesford Park Historic area as well as the character of the High Street corridor.
2. The limitations of these uses also align with the applicant’s stated goals of providing a development that is oriented towards the existing neighborhood, rather than the traveling public.
3. These restrictions help ensure the site provides a safe pedestrian experience, and do not encourage auto-centric travel patterns.
Section 3 - That the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Planning Commission is directed to show the amendment on the official zone map atlas and to make reference to the number of this Ordinance.
Section 4 - That this Ordinance shall become effective on the date of its passage.
