A.
Legislative
findings. The Village Board of the Village of Whitefish Bay hereby
finds as a fact that the conducting of retail business between 10:00
p.m. and 6:00 a.m. increases the likelihood of robbery and other criminal
activity and that the mandatory closing of such business establishments
between such hours will promote public safety, and, therefore, legislation
to this effect is necessary and in the public interest.
B.
Regulation.
No person, firm, corporation or other organization shall conduct retail
business between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
C.
Exceptions.
(1)
This
section shall not be applicable to restaurants, movie theaters, nor
any business where other specific hour restrictions are either imposed
or allowed by state law.
(2)
Exercise facilities. Exercise facilities in District 11 may, by conditional
use permit, be allowed to operate between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and
