GAME ARCADE - CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST REFERRED BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION Wallin explained that on January 23, 1989, the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on the Conditional Use Request plus a J_engthy discussion. Following that discussion, a motion was made (carried 5 to 4) to adopt a moratorium on such businesses to allow time to study whether or not game rooms should be inc7_uded under conditional ~~ ~~ MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 25, 1989 PAGE 2 uses in the Code. Baldwin stressed that Council understood their possible options were as follows: (1) the enterprise would cause no problems and should be a permitted use, (2) the business is such a danger to the health, safety and welfare that Council could not deal with it, and it should be completely restricted, or (3) some things inherent in the business do cause concern but Council feels it can be controlled with appropriate conditions. However, by recently adding game arcades as a conditional use (January 11, 1989) they did indicate they felt that businesses of this type could be controlled by appropriate conditions. Gedde explained that by allowing commercial uses in that district a problem could be created by disallowing a similar use in a district. Following the discussion, Baldwin called for a motion on a moratorium. No motion followed. After a brief discussion with Joseph Sacco, the prospective proprietor of the game room, Ciernia moved that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission with the request that the Commission focus on establishing conditions for the business, as game rooms are presently a legal use under the Code. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ON PARKING VARIANCE REQUEST FROM DENNIS HUNT FOR A RESTAURANT/BAR IN BULLSEYE PLAZA Wiessner presented background information on the original parking variance granted when the building was constructed and reviewed her memorandum dated January 25, 1989 giving recommendations on how the parking problems in the center should be handled as new businesses are established. Wal]_in explained that the Planning Commission had. unanimously recommended denial of the variance following the Planner's recommendation (memorandum dated January 19, 1989). Mr. Hunt was of the opinion that there is not a parking problem; however, Henry Kristal, owner of the Embers, stated the lot was ful_t that evening and his restaurant could not provide parking for their customers. Following a discussion, Council offered Mr. Hunt two options: (1) go on as at present, which requires a variance with each new business, or (2) meet with the Administrator and Planner in an attempt to re-cal_cu_late MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 25, J_989 PAGE 3 and put a cap on the parking for a combination of businesses, with the understanding that businesses which can operate within the cap would not require another variance. A new parking plan and variance for the center will then be presented to the Planning Commission.
