Home My WebLink AboutPZ2023-134DATE: April l7.2U23 TO. Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Demi Engman, Planning Manager SUBJECT: To consider a Specific Use Permit to a|kzvv a gaming facility in the GC -MD (General Commercial Multiple -Family Dwelling) District. STAFF REPORT Kh 'a Hussain and Bichk/Pharn request approval for a Specific Use Permit to allow agaming facility located atBO1OWashington Boulevard, Suite B. They intend toinstall fifty (5O)gaming machines with one office manager present and operational hours of8arn to 10prn, Monday through Sunday. The office manager will also be the security guard and will have customers sign in before they play on the gaming machines. It should be noted that gaming facilities that have five or fewer machines tend to be considered accessory in nature, when pert of primary use, and as such tend to result in fewer negative impacts onsurrounding land uses. However, larger game rooms with dozens ofmachines take on the scale of 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, and 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 in close proximity with two (2) existing churches and abuts residential single family zoned properties. Additionally, the shared parking lot has thirty-six (SG)existing spaces for the shopping plaza and the proposed gaming facility would require thirty-three (33) of those spaces. Therefore, 92% of the parking lot may be occupied by customers for the gaming facility, which may lead toconflict amongst tenants, per Engineering. Staff recommends denial of the request. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections toverify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
