TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Chris Boone, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: To consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in an LI
(Light Industrial) District.
FILE: PZ2022-219
WAKI-11-01N.-A-1111 15144
Ranvir Sachdeva has requested a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility at 7550 College
Street with 25 machines. The hours of operation for the business would be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Security will be provided by closed-circuit TV surveillance and a security guard.
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 zoned LI
(Light Industrial) and is separated from the nearest residential properties by the railroad. In
addition, this property is nearly Y2 mile from the nearest park or school. The location on
College Street, a Major Arterial, adjacent to Commercial/Industrial uses to the east and South
makes this property more favorable than most for the requested use.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. Submit a revised site plan with parking to meet Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
