Hearing on proposed adult business regulation Tuesday
New Bern Board of Aldermen plan two public hearings at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall on regulating adult entertainment businesses and mobile homes. The adult ordinance would locate businesses at least 500 feet from residential zones and 1,000 feet from day cares and schools. Mayor Bayliss will be away for a White House ceremony but supports the ordinance. The mobile home amendment would allow placements on private drives with street access and require water sewer and refuse services at the public street right of way.
