Home My WebLink About2419-P (PZ2020-140)DATE: November 16, 2020 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Cluis Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in a GC -MD (General Conunercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) District. FILE: 2419-P (PZ2020-140) Jisan Makanojiya has requested a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility at 1475 Washington Boulevard with 50 machines. The hours of operation for the business would be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day and security will be provided by on site surveillance. The site plan submitted does not show parking that has been drawn to scale. If approved, a detailed parking plan would need to be submitted. 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. This property is immediately adjacent a residential neighborhood and residential single-family dwellings and within 1,000 feet of both Robert and Chaison Parks. Beaumont Police were asked to provide feedback as to whether or not calls for service to the Police Department are higher near game rooms. The research showed that Crime, especially auto theft, robbery and violent robbery are much higher near these facilities. Due to the risk of increased crime and the proximity of the adjacent residential neighborhood, staff recommends denial of the request. Exhibits are attached.
