March 10, 2016 'Volume 10 I Issue 5 Zoning Bulletin <br />TENNESSEE <br />Anderson County has adopted new local zoning regulations for pain <br />clinics "in an effort to prevent or reduce prescription drug abuse in the <br />county." "The zoning resolution amendment provides for a definition <br />of pain clinics and identifies the clinics as a permitted use in the C-1, <br />General Commercial zone." <br />Source: Oak Ridge Today; ht0,://oakridgetoday.com <br />WEST VIRGINIA <br />Pending Senate Bill 253 "proposes that drug treatment and recovery <br />facilities be exempted from any county or municipal zoning <br />ordinances." Proponents of the bill reportedly defend it as being "nar- <br />rowly written" and only applying to drug -treatment facilities. Op- <br />ponents argue that "such a law would open the door for future zoning <br />exemption requests, and ultimately result in a loss of local control by <br />county and municipal government." <br />Source: Herald -Mail Media; www.heraldmailmedia.com <br />12 © 2016 Thomson Reuters <br />
