their unit by September 1st. The additional space is currently used for warehouse by another tenant, but will be converted to billiard hall space. By doing this, TNT Billiards plans to have a total of 12 tables by September 1st. According to Section 912.040.G, pool halls serving alcoholic beverages are allowed by Conditional Use provided compliance with several conditions. The specific code language is copied below with staff comments in italics - G. Commercial Recreation. Those establishments serving alcoholic beverages in conjunction with pool hall, bingo, golf, indoor firearms/archery ranges, and amusement centers as a principal use, provided that: 1. If located within a shopping center, the use has its own exclusive exterior access. TNT Billiards has two entrances within the building. The entrance to the retail area is a shared entryway with another tenant, but this doorway is locked at 6 p.m. The second entrance for the billiard hall is on the west side of the building and it is exclusive to TNT Billiards. This will be the primary entryway for customers looking to play pool. 2. Any and all applicable local, state and federal laws, permits licenses and operational regulations are complied with. TNT Billiards currently has an Amusement license issued by the City for the pool tables. Furthermore, the Fire Marshal and Building Official inspected the space prior to the business opening earlier this year. The City Clerk has been working with TNT Billiards on the necessary requirements and licensing needed for beer/alcohol sales. 3. The use is located and developed so as not to create an incompatible operation problem with adjoining and neighboring commercial and/or residential uses. One of the factors that staff continues to review with this multi-tenant location is whether or not ample parking is available for the site as a whole. A tenant that had previously occupied the southeast corner of the building has since vacated the property. This tenant had a number of employees and equipment (e.g. trucks, trailers, outdoor storage) that tended to overburden the site day, plus items were left overnight in the required parking spaces. TNT Billiards is open at 11:00 a.m., but this will be primarily for customers seeking the retail or repair shop portion of the business. The customer base using the pool tables for events or league play will typically arrive in the evening hours after 6 p.m. or on the weekends. This is a plus staff believes in consideration of whether or not there is sufficient parking. The Property Owner has indicated that the other tenants of the building are closed by 6 p.m. and not open on the weekends. With no other building tenant needing evening parking this allows for the billiard hall to utilize all 70 parking spaces on the property. During the day, the Property Owner has allotted 20 parking spaces to TNT Billiards. For the retail and repair portion of the business, staff believes this should be sufficient parking during the day. 4. The hours of operation shall be subject to City Council control and change as a means to maintain compatibility of uses and activities. Hours of operations are: • Retail & Repair – Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. • Billiard Hall – Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and occasionally on Sunday for special events or leagues.
