In their meeting Tuesday evening, Danville City Council approved the addition of a C-E casino entertainment zoning district by amending Chapter 41 of the Danville City Code to allow for the future Caesars casino at the former Dan River Mills Schoolfield site.

The new district in article 3.V outlines the zoning district purpose, permitted uses, uses permitted by special use permit, lot size requirement, bulk regulations, parking, exterior lighting, signs, noise, landscape and open space and additional requirements.

Some of the details outlined for the district include a minimum of 75 acres, with the minimum lot area being 25 acres.
