§ 82-36.202. Purpose and administration.

(a)

Purpose. This chapter requires and provides criteria for the consideration and approval of land use permits and firearms dealer licenses before the sale of firearms will be permitted in any nonresidential land use zoning district of this county. The county finds it necessary to establish land use permit and firearms dealer license requirements and criteria in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare to regulate the sale of firearms in the unincorporated area. This chapter alone does not allow or permit sales of firearms, but only applies to sales of firearms where otherwise allowed or permitted within an involved applicable nonresidential land use zoning district. This chapter does not authorize the sale of firearms in any nonresidential land use district where they are not otherwise allowed or permitted by the applicable involved zoning district's regulations.

(b)

Administration. For purposes of this chapter, whenever the term "director" is referenced, it shall mean the director of the community development department or his or her designee.
