MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kim Tiehen, Director of Strategic Financial Engagement
Date: May 9, 2023
Reference: Discussion related to the Service Organization Funding Requests.
2040: Foster and Inclusive Community Fabric
Introduction:
The purpose of this memo is to provide information concerning the service organizations that
submitted grant requests for funding in fiscal year 2024, identify which would be required to
present at a budget workshop based on Council’s guidelines, and determine if Council would
like to add or remove any service organizations from the presentation list.
Background:
The City of Coppell has historically included funding for non-profit organizations in its annual
operating budget. Organizations granted funding must be a qualifying 501(c)(3) entity, must
provide a social or cultural service not provided by the City, and must benefit Coppell citizens.
Applications are accepted annually during the month of April. Selected organizations will
present to Council during the first budget workshop in July.
In 2016, Council formed a subcommittee to address the process. A memo dated August 30,
2016, included a provision to review requests during a work session prior to the scheduled
budget workshop and established the criteria for determining if an organization would present
to Council. The criteria for determining if a service organization would present at the budget
workshop in July are:
- Any new requests
- Any increase in requested funding
- Any request over $10,000
Sixteen organizations submitted applications to be considered. Based on the criteria listed
above, the following organizations would make a presentation during the budget workshop in
July:
• Assistance League of Coppell – Increased Request
• Ballet Ensemble of Texas – New (did not request last year, but did in 2021 and 2022)
• Children’s Advocacy Center/Denton County – Increased Request
• Christian Community Action - Over $10,000 and Increased Request
• Coppell Arts Council - Over $10,000
• Coppell Chamber of Commerce - Over $10,000
• Coppell Community Chorale – Over $10,000 and Increased Request
• Coppell Community Orchestra - Over 10,000
• Coppell Community Theater - New
• Coppell Historical Museum - Over $10,000
• Friends of Coppell Nature Park - New
• Metrocrest Services - Over $10,000
• YMCA - Over $10,000
It is worth noting that some of the 13 are on the presentation list simply because they are
requesting more than $10,000 even though they are not requesting an increase in their current
funding level.

From: Service Organizations Sub-committee (Marvin Franklin, Wes Mays, Nancy Yingling)
Re: Service Organizations Funding Management Process
Background
The funding process in recent years has been largely guided by the attached materials (“Funding
Framework and Missions”), created to provide both Council and Staff with increased clarity and funding
discipline regarding these organizations and their role with respect to our various community missions.
The material contains:
1) Community Mission Statements
2) Service Organizations funding framework in four specific quadrants, characterized by mission:
Critical Social Services, Arts & Culture, Partnerships, and Special Interests (the “4th Quadrant”)
The 4th quadrant was designed to be a “gauntlet” of sorts where Council could discuss, preliminarily vet
and ultimately allow/disallow new applicant participation in the process for budget consideration. At
the time, it was thought that while new groups would apply annually, they would be vetted before being
allowed to move forward in the process. The objective was to stay consistent with our Missions, firmly
discourage “program creep” and reduce time waste.
The above referenced ad hoc committee was organized to recommend to Council approaches to
improve our process for evaluating new service organization applicants and provide staff with guidance
and support going forward.
The Process Problem and Associated Issues
First: Council has largely failed to implement the “4th quadrant” discipline originally intended. This has
resulted in various groups seeking funding which either: a) wastes time, b) offer services which are not
consistent with the mission, c) fall short of meaningful community impact or are otherwise illogical, or
any combination of the aforementioned. Second: Without sufficient guidance, staff has had no choice
but to take all applications and allow them to go through the process. Third: The subject of Service
Organizations and fundings would seem to represent an appropriate opportunity to discuss the issue of
Council “self-policing” and internal/external influences on decision-making.
Recommendations and Areas of Discussion
Preliminary Review:
It is recommended that any new applicant (not previously funded) would be preliminarily reviewed at a
work session scheduled by staff to determine whether the applicant should be considered during our
Annual Budget Meeting regarding Service Organization fundings. If positive interest is shown by Council,
then the applicant would be scheduled to present at the Budget meeting. There is no guarantee,
however, that such group would ultimately be funded, only the permission to present. If necessary, a
“go/no go” checklist containing fundamental threshold criteria (broader community service/benefit,
degree of community enhancement, increased quality of life or imaging provided and so on) could easily
be created as a guide for the preliminary review.
Organizations seeking funding outside the spirit of our Service Organization Mission Statements should
be discouraged. These would include, but not be limited to, funding of scholarships or grants of any
kind, funding viewed as being politically preferenced, funding viewed as “buying” community influence
or support, funding that negatively impacts our community image, funding to those representing a
narrow community segment, as opposed to broad, or funding targeted toward a sole individual.
Applicants should be made aware that high levels of prudence, selectivity and cost/benefit evaluation by
Council are intended to stay consistent with our Mission Framework and discourage “program creep.”
Empower Staff:
It is recommended that previously approved Service Organizations with funding levels of $10,000 or less
would not be required to present during the Annual Budget meeting. Those groups would be
considered “recurring,” added to the budgeted numbers by the City Manager, and be consistent with
prior year funding levels. In the event that any of the approved organizations seek an increase over
prior year funding levels, then such organization would need to present their request to Council during
the Annual Budget Meeting. If such increase is a one-time request, then funding would ultimately revert
back to funding levels prior to the one-time increase.
It would be staff’s responsibility to inform Council of anything that might cause Council to reconsider
funding the approved organizations (mission issues, things harmful to our community image, service
impact on our community, financial issues, etc.).
Discussion Regarding Influence and Self-Policing:
In discussing our decision-making process, the committee noted that Council members have done a
good job of recusing themselves from situations that may involve conflicts of interests. The sub-
committee believes that it is appropriate to discuss the Council’s involvement with service organizations
and the impact that it can have on Council discussions, decision making, and staff. Questions:
1. To what extent are Council members and staff involved with the service organization?
Volunteers, Board members, Members, Donors, etc.
2. Should those activities be revealed to Council and staff?
3. Which areas of our involvement lend themselves to some level of scrutiny and individual
restraint?
4. Should any of us recuse ourselves from discussions and/or voting regarding the funding of
organizations in which we are involved?
Discussion
MISSIONS AND FUNDING FRAMEWORK
I. Critical Social Service Needs
“Our residents, on occasion, experience significant challenges as victims of crime, economic
hardship, physical frailties or emergencies. Local agencies meet these needs more efficiently
and more effectively than the City of Coppell otherwise could.”
II. Arts & Culture
“Cultural and arts enhance the quality of life in Coppell and help establish a strong sense of
community. The City of Coppell prefers to become a sponsor for performances and arts groups
through financial and in-kind support.”
III. Partnerships
“Partnering with school, civic, and community organizations enable the city to maximize its
services and programs while minimizing costs. The City of Coppell prefers partnering
opportunities as an effective approach to achieving multiple objectives contained within its
longer term strategic plan, currently Coppell 2030.”
IV. Special Interests
“Funding requests to address the needs of narrower segment of the Coppell community will
be considered occasionally. The City of Coppell recognizes that these segments will require
higher levels of prudence, selectivity, and cost/benefit evaluation.”

2040: Enhance the Unique “Community Oasis” Experience
Introduction:
The purpose of this agenda item is to award a bid to B-Weiss Entertainment Group for Special
Event Production Services in the amount not to exceed $250,000.
Background:
To consistently provide first-rate community special events that citizens of Coppell enjoy, the
Coppell Community Experiences department would like to continue utilizing procurement and
production services provided by a special event production company. Beginning in 2018, the
department engaged in this type of service agreement to execute the annual Celebrate Coppell:
Party in the Park event. These services are purchased by the City in order to present community
events, utilizing a contractor streamlines the process, as they are responsible for bidding, procuring
and paying for various elements, which are then billed to the City under one agreement and one
purchase order.
The contract allows the department to secure the best possible prices through negotiated pricing
terms with vendors, as well as utilize experience and relationships that the production firm
possesses. Previous services provided have included: talent buying, stage, sound and lighting
procurement, equipment rental including tents, tables and chairs, linens and golf carts, as well as
other specialty décor, signage, portable restrooms and trash disposal services.
In March of 2023, the special events production services contract was bid out as a Request for
Proposal (RFP) and sent for open bid using BidSync. One bid was received by the City for review
and is listed below:
• B-Weiss Entertainment Group $250,000.00
The department has worked with this contractor to assist in production of events including
Celebrate Coppell and Kaleidoscope since 2018. Overall, the City has been very satisfied with the
service, quality of work and professionalism they have provided.
Benefit to the Community:
Special events are integral to the experience residents enjoy as part of living in Coppell. This
contract will assist staff in providing the best events to the community, in an efficient and cost-
effective manner.
Legal Review:
The bid has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this contract is not to exceed $250,000.00, as budgeted.
Recommendation:
The Community Experiences Department recommends approval of this item.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Shore, Facility Manager
Michael Garza, Director of Public Works
Date: May 9, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of awarding a contract to Loftin Equipment Company for the
purchase of a replacement generator for the Coppell Arts Center; utilizing BuyBoard
Quote BB-269253689; in the amount of $185,210.00; as budgeted in the Infrastructure
Maintenance Fund (IMF); and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary
documents.
2040: Enhance the Unique 'Community Oasis' Experience
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented to consider awarding a contract to Loftin Equipment Company
for the purchase of a replacement generator for the Coppell Arts Center; utilizing BuyBoard Quote
BB-269253689; in the amount of $185,210.00; as budgeted in the IMF; and authorizing the City
Manager to sign all necessary documents.
Background:
The generator currently installed at the Coppell Arts Center is sized only to power the life safety
systems (fire alarm, security, and emergency lighting). If there is a power failure during a
performance, the Arts Center would need to close, resulting in a loss of revenue to the City of Coppell
in both performance fees and ticket sales. In addition, the closure of a show would damage the
reputation of the Coppell Arts Center with the community. Installation of this replacement generator
will allow operation of all systems during a power failure. The existing backup generator will be
relocated to the Cozby Library and Community Commons.
Benefit to the Community:
The generator installation will allow the entirety of the Coppell Arts Center to operate during a power
failure. In the event of a power failure, performances and events would be able to continue as normal.
In addition, the Coppell Arts Center could now be considered for use during community emergencies
as a warming center or temporary shelter.

Legal Review:
The Procurement Division has determined that this is an appropriate method of contracting with the

Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this purchase is $185,210.00, as budgeted in IMF.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: May 9, 2023
Reference: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider approval of amending definitions and text change to the
Code of Ordinances, Chapter 12, Article 30 (S or Special Use Permits) defining and
establishing Special Use Permit requirements for lodging houses (short term rentals
(STRs), bed and breakfasts, boarding homes, hostels, vacation homes, and corporate
housing) within the SF-7, SF-9, SF-12, SF-18, SF-ED and H Districts.
2040: Future-Oriented Approach to Residential Development/
Enhance the Unique Community Oasis Experience
Introduction:
The Special Use Permit section of Chapter 12, the Zoning Ordinance, addresses uses that are in general
conformance with the master plan of the city and containing such requirements and safeguards are
necessary to protect adjoining property. A special use permit (SUP) is an additional use that may be
allowed on a case-by case basis and is in addition to the basic zoning classification of the property. SUP
requests require an affirmative vote by City Council after a public hearing and proper notice, and after
recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposed amendment is to establish
Special Use Permit requirements for lodging houses (short term rentals (STRs), bed and breakfasts,
boarding homes, hostels, vacation homes, and corporate housing) within the SF-7, SF-9, SF-12, SF-18,
SF-ED and H Districts. Lodging Houses are a new addition to the SUP section of the Zoning Ordinance,
and currently the STR requirements exist as its own ordinance outside of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background:
The first Short Term Rental Ordinance was passed by City Council on June 12, 2018. At the time the
ordinance was approved, staff was still learning about short-term rentals and knew that the Ordinance
would need to be reviewed at the end of 2019 to see if changes were needed. Several revisions have been
made to the ordinance since that time, the latest being in December of 2022. STRs and regulations
surrounding STRs have evolved and adding them to the SUP process is one more step in that evolution.
The ordinance has been designed to provide a balance between meeting the desires of owner occupants
to share their homes on an intermittent basis and providing protection for the neighboring properties. The
proposed changes are a continuation of that balance. They aim to provide a clear understanding of
definitions, processes, and enforcement. Providing this clarity increases the objectivity of all parties
involved. The SUP process allows for more public involvement, it requires notification of property
owners within 200-ft of the property in question, a courtesy notice for property owners within 800-ft of
the property in question and a public hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting and at the
City Council Meeting.

On March 16, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL of
the text amendments to the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 12, “Zoning”, Article 12-30 “S or SUP, Special
Use Permits” as outlined in the redlined draft attached.
Benefit to the Community:
The SUP process allows for more public involvement. It requires notification of property owners within
200-ft of the property in question, a courtesy notice for property owners within 800-ft of the property in
question and a public hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting and at the City Council
Meeting.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed ordinance changes.
Fiscal Impact:
This will generate additional Hotel Occupancy taxes (HOT) for residences allowed to have lodging
houses.
Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL of the proposed text
amendments.

Text Amendments to the Code of Ordinances

“S or SUP, Special Use Permits”
P&Z HEARING DATE: March 16, 2023
C.C. PUBLIC HEARING DATE April 11, 2023
STAFF REP.: Mary Paron-Boswell, AICP, Sr. Planner
PURPOSE: To consider text change and definition amendments to the Code of Ordinances,
Chapter 12, Article 30 (S or SUP, Special Use Permits) defining and establishing
Special Use Permit requirements for lodging houses (short term rentals (STRs), bed
and breakfasts, boarding homes, hostels, vacation homes, and corporate housing)
within the SF-7, SF-9, SF-12, SF-18, SF-ED and H Districts.
HISTORY: The Special Use Permit section of the ordinance addresses uses that are in general
conformance with the master plan of the city and containing such requirements and
safeguards as are necessary to protect adjoining property. A special use permit is
an additional use that may be allowed on a case-by case basis and is in addition to
the basic zoning classification of the property. These requests require an
affirmative vote by City Council after a public hearing and proper notice, and after
recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposed
amendment is to establish Special Use Permit requirements for lodging houses
(short term rentals (STRs), bed and breakfasts, boarding homes, hostels, vacation
homes, and corporate housing) within the SF-7, SF-9, SF-12, SF-18, SF-ED and H
Districts. Lodging Houses (STR’s) are a new addition to the SUP section of the
Zoning Ordinance, currently it exists as its own ordinance outside of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The first Short Term Rental Ordinance was passed by City Council on June 12,
2018. At the time the Ordinance was approved, staff was still learning about short-
term rentals and knew that the Ordinance would need to be reviewed at the end of
2019 to see if changes were needed.
On December 20, 2019, the City Council did approve the extension of the Short-
Term Rental Ordinance and kept a sunset review for continuous review and
improvements to the Ordinance. The sunset review was set for January 31, 2021.
On January 26, 2021, City Council once again approved an extension of the Short-
Term Rental Ordinance with minor modifications to the Ordinance and set the
sunset review period for January 31, 2022.
ITEM # 9
Page 2 of 3
On January 11, 2022, City Council extended the expiration date of the Short-Term
Rental Ordinance from January 31, 2022, to June 30, 2022. This extension provided
staff with the time necessary to review best practices from short-term rental
ordinances throughout the state and to prepare a draft ordinance with proposed
changes for City Council review.
On April 12, 2022, City Council approved the new ordinance and removed the
sunset date. However, since that date, a key piece of the city's existing regulations
has been challenged in a different municipality, making it necessary for the City of
Coppell to update our short-term rental ordinance.
On December 13, 2022, City Council approved an ordinance that provides
homeowners with two options to use their homes as short-term rental properties:
1- The applicant must provide city staff verification that the Short-Term rental
property is their primary residence.
2 - The applicant must hire an on-site property manager who has to be at the
property at the time of the rental.
The ordinance changes also included a new definition for short-term rental that
includes pools, garages, and outdoor accessory structures.
DISCUSSION: As mentioned in the History section of this report, STR’s are a new addition to the
SUP section of the Zoning Ordinance, currently it exists as its own ordinance
outside of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff is proposing to add STR’s to the Zoning
Ordinance and in the process update and amend the Special Use Permits (SUP’s)
list. The proposed amendments to the Special Use Permits (SUP’s) involve
updating the uses allowed in certain residential districts, in particular by adding the
use of a Lodging House. A Lodging House is defined as “the rental of any single-
family residence or its residential structure, or a portion of a single-family residence
or residential structure including but not limited to pools, garages, and outdoor
accessory structures for a period of less than 30 days”. This term includes but is
not limited to:
1. A bed and breakfast;
2. A boarding home or hostel;
3. A vacation home;
4. A short-term rental (STR); or
5. Corporate housing.
The term does not include:
1. A unit that is used for a non-residential purpose, including an educational,
retail, restaurant, banquet space, or event center purpose or other
commercial purposes and other similar use;
2. A hotel/residence hotel;
3. A place for residence or use as a licensed health care or assisted living
facility licensed by the State;
4. A parsonage on the premise of a church, mosque or synagogue; or
5. A commercial storage facility.
ITEM # 9
Page 3 of 3
The uses are limited to the following zoning districts with an SUP:
· Single-Family Estate District (SF-ED);
· Single-Family-18 Residential (SF-18);
· Single-Family-12 Residential (SF-12);
· Single-Family-9 Residential (SF-9); and
· Single-Family-7 Residential (SF-7).
· Historic (H) – when part of a PD for single-family residential development or
mixed-use development and shall not include live/work units.
These residential districts were chosen because they are single-family detached
units and not attached. This provides the neighbors some separation from the
proposed uses and transient nature of the lodging house uses. The mixed-use
developments provide a separation of uses from the ground floor to the upper
floor(s).
STR’s and regulations surrounding STR’s have evolved and adding them to the
SUP process allows is one more step in that evolution. The ordinance has been
designed to provide a balance between meeting the desires of owner occupants to
share their homes on an intermittent basis and providing protection for the
neighboring properties. The proposed changes are a continuation of that balance.
They aim to provide a clear understanding of definitions, processes, and
enforcement. Providing this clarity increases the objectivity of all parties involved.
The SUP process allows for more public involvement, it requires notification of
property owners within 200-ft of the property in question, a courtesy notice for
property owners within 800-ft of the property in question and a public hearing at
the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting and at the City Council Meeting.
The redlined ordinance changes are attached for your review.

ARTICLE 30. S OR SUP, SPECIAL USE PERMITS
Sec. 12-30-1. Special uses.
The city council by an affirmative vote may after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected, and
after recommendations from the planning and zoning commission that the use is in general conformance with the
master plan of the city and containing such requirements and safe guards as are necessary to protect adjoining
property, grant a special use permit zoning classification as an additional use in addition to the sue allowed under
the basic zoning classification of the property. The application shall be accompanied by a site plan (see article 27)
drawn to scale and showing the general arrangement of the project, together with essential requirements such as
off-street parking facilities; size, height, construction materials, and locations of buildings and the uses to be
permitted; location and construction of signs; means of ingress and egress to public streets, the type of visual
screening such as walls, plantings and fences; and the relationship of the intended use to all existing properties
and land uses in all directions to a minimum distance of 200 feet. The planning commission or city council may
require information, operating data and expert evaluation concerning the location and function and characteristics
of any building or use proposed.
(Ord. No. 91500)
Sec. 12-30-2. Special use permit regulations.
1. In recommending that a special use permit for the premises under consideration be granted, the planning
and zoning commission shall determine that such uses are harmonious and adaptable to building structures
and uses of abutting property and other property in the vicinity of the premises under consideration, and
shall make recommendations as to requirements for the paving of streets, alleys and sidewalks, means of
ingress and egress to public streets, provisions for drainage, adequate off-street parking, protective
screening and open space landscaping, heights of structures, and compatibility of buildings; and such other
reasonable regulations concerning the operation of such uses..
2. Every special use permit granted under these provisions shall be considered as an amendment to the zoning
ordinance as applicable to such property under consideration, but shall not be considered as a permanent
change in zoning subject to the amendment or revocation as deemed appropriate. In the event the building,
premises, or land uses under the special use permit is voluntarily vacated or if the ownership is voluntarily
transferred, or if such buildings, premise, or land is more than 50 percent destroyed by fire or other cause,
the use of the same shall thereafter conform to the regulations of the original zoning district of such
property unless a new and separate special use permit is granted for continuation of the use.
3. In granting a special use permit, the city council may impose conditions which shall be complied with by the
owner or grantee before a certificate of occupancy may be issued by the building inspector for use of the
building on such property pursuant to such special use permit; and such conditions precedent to the granting
of the certificate of occupancy.
4. At the time of application, a site plan and architectural rendering will be required unless waived by the
director of planning.
5. A building permit shall be applied for and secured within six months from the time of granting the special use
permit provided; however, the city council may authorize an extension of this time upon recommendation by
the planning and zoning commission.

Sec. 12-30-14. Business use within residential structures.

"zoned for a business use" on which there exists a residential structure which was in existence at the time
the property was zoned for business use.
2. The term "zoned for business use" as that term is used in the definition of "business use with residential
structure" shall mean any zoning classification of the comprehensive zoning ordinance which permits a
business or commercial use including the O, R, C, or LI or any business classification within any PD district.
3. Residential structures deemed conforming. Any residential structure located on property defined as
"business use with residential structure" shall be considered a conforming structure as opposed to a
nonconforming use. Such conforming status shall continue so long as the residential structure is used for
residential purposes, and during such period of residential use, the property shall be governed by the
regulations of the residential zoning classification, as amended, that existed at the time such property was
zoned for its business use.
4. Where structure is used only as a residence. Any residential structure located on property defined as

5. Where structure is used only for specific business. Any residential structure located on property defined as
"business use with residential structure" which on the effective date of this ordinance is being used for a

specific business purpose and not a residential use must hereinafter obtain a special use permit under this
section for the specific use being conducted in such a structure. Upon proper proof of the existence of such a
business use may not be changed or the structure converted to a combined residence with the specific use
without a new special use permit.
6. Where structure is a combined residential and business use. Any residential structure located on the
property defined as "business use with residential structure" which as of the effective date of this ordinance
is used both as a residence and for a specific business use must obtain a special use permit for such
combined residential and specific business use. Upon proper proof of the existence of such a combined
business and residential use as of the effective date of this ordinance, the special use permit shall be
granted, but once granted the specific business use may not be changed without first obtaining a new special
use permit.
7. The residential structure located on property defined as "business use with residential structure" may in any
case be taken down or removed and replaced with a conforming commercial structure without the necessity
of obtaining a special use permit and thereafter such property shall be governed by the regulations of the
business zoning classification of such property.
8. A use which would be a "home occupation" under the comprehensive zoning ordinance shall not be
considered a business use which will have to obtain a special use permit unless otherwise required to do so
by the specific regulations.
9. The owner of any property who is required to obtain a special use permit pursuant to the provisions of this
section and who files application for such special use permit on or before January 16, 1987, will not be
required to pay the usual zoning change filing fee. Any applicant applying for such a special use permit after
January 16, 1987 shall pay the application fee.

1, 10-11-05)
Sec. 12-30-15. Churches in any district.
1. Churches. A church may not be excluded from any zoning district within the city, therefore the special use
permit required by this chapter may not be denied. In the issuance of such special use permit, there shall be
imposed only those reasonable special conditions or regulations necessary to protect the health, safety and
general welfare of the community. Off-street parking shall be regulated by subsection 12-31-6(4) of this
chapter. A site plan may be required as a part of the application for this special use permit and unless
modified by approval of a site plan adopted as a part of the ordinance granting the special use permit, set
back and other such requirements shall be governed by the regulations of the basic zoning district, and the
structural requirements shall be governed by the existing ordinance of the city.
All churches in existence at the time of the adoption of this amendment shall be considered as conforming
uses under special use permit in regard to all church facilities in place of the effective date of this amendment.
Once a church has received a special use permit it will not have to obtain another special use permit to
expand church facilities within the church property.
Church use shall be permitted in any nonresidential zoning district without a special use permit.
