STAFF REPORT
Xuong Tuan Ta has requested a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility at 6470
Washington Boulevard. The applicant wishes to have 35 gaming machines at this location. The
hours of operation for the business would be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be considered
accessory in nature, when part of a primary use, and as such tend to result in fewer negative
impacts on surrounding land uses. However, larger game rooms with dozens of machines take
on the scale of a small casino and as a result, require careful consideration as to their location
and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Some of these considerations include
compatibility with other land uses, noise, traffic as well as safety considerations. As such,
proximity to parks, schools and especially residential uses should be carefully considered in the
review of gaming facilities.
It should be noted, however, that this property is not in close proximity to any residential
properties, parks or schools. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the request with the
following condition:
1. Owner must maintain adequate security.
2. The van accessible handicap spot is not ADA compliant. The spot must be 11-ft wide with a
5-ft access aisle on the passenger side if the vehicle were pulled into the spot.
3. The western edge of the proposed rock must be 2-ft away from the property line, and the 2-ft
gap be filled in with grass.
4. Garbage trucks will quickly ruin the northwest corner of the proposed rock parking area due
to the tight turnaround area. The trucks will create rutting and potholes, causing the loose
rocks and dirt to potentially be carried away by storm runoff and be deposited in the City’s
drainage structures or on neighboring lots, violating the Watershed Protection Ordinance.
The dumpster should be relocated or the driveway should be paved.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Exhibits are attached.
