STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Associate Planner DATE: August 7, 2017 RE: TNT Billiard Hall, 80 Little Canada Road E. – Conditional Use Permit for Commercial Recreational Use with Alcohol Sales The applicant, Nathan Badger, Owner of TNT Billiards is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a commercial recreation use that serves alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a pool hall. The pool hall is located at 80 Little Canada Road E. in the northwest corner of Tim Smith’s building. The subject property is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development. The uses allowed on this property as part of the existing PUD Permit are those uses as outlined in the B-3, General Business District. In the B-3 District, Amusement places (without alcohol sales) are a permitted use subject to city licensing (which the applicant has obtained) and TNT Billiard Hall has been in operation at this location for a couple of months. The billiard hall is requesting to add alcohol service as part of their offerings to customers and this expanded use triggers the need to amend the PUD Permit as the B-3 District regulates commercial recreations uses with alcohol by Conditional Use Permit. The subject parcel is zoned: PUD, Planned Unit Development. The property is surrounded primarily by properties also zoned PUD. It should be noted that the properties on the west side of Jackson Street to the south of this parcel are legal non-conforming Single-Family Residential uses. In addition, the parcel directly to the west (slight sliver of yellow in image above) is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. Analysis As mentioned above, TNT Billiards has only been in operation for a few months within the City. Both the Fire Marshal and Building Official have inspected the suite to ensure compliance with applicable codes. In addition to the billiard hall use, TNT Billiards also has a retail area and repair shop within their suite. The hours of operation for the retail and repair shop portion of the business are Monday – Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pool table play is also open during these same hours, but remains open until 1 a.m. and occasionally on Sundays for events or league play. There are two entrances to TNT Billiards. The primary entrance along Little Canada Road that brings customers into the retail and repair shop area is a shared entryway with another tenant in the building. This shared entrance is closed at 6 p.m. The other entrance for TNT Billiards is on west side of the building. This doorway brings customers directly into the billiard hall space and is the only entrance open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. for billiard hall customers. TNT Billiards currently leases 3,500 square feet of space within this multi-tenant property which is a combination of retail store, repair shop, and billiard hall. They currently have eight pool tables available for customers. The applicant has indicated that they have signed an agreement with Mr. Smith to add an additional 1,600 square feet to
