Home My WebLink AboutPZ2023-191DATE: June 26, 2023 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Adina Josey, Senior Planner SUBJECT: To consider a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility in the GC -MD (General Commercial Multiple -Family Dwelling) District. FILE: PZ2023-191 STAFF REPORT Courtney Watson requests approval for a Specific Use Permit to allow a gaming facility located at 39 N. 11111 Street, Suite B. Ms. Watson intends to install fourteen (14) gaming machines. Hours of operation will be 10am to 10pm, Monday through Sunday. Plans are to staff this location with one fulltime employee and one security person. 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, 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 to BISD's alternative campus at 88 Jaguar, and Lily of the Valley Missionary Baptist Church is located at 2856 Smart St. Additionally, the shared parking lot has forty-four (44) existing, legal spaces for the shopping plaza and the proposed gaming facility would require twenty-five (25) to thirty (30) of those spaces. An additional twenty-six (26) spaces are shown on the site plan, but overhang the City right-of-way and are not legal.. Therefore, the overall shopping center only has 31% of the minimum required parking, which may lead to conflict 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 to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
