MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 10, 1996 clubs were permitted uses in the I -P District. Marine pointed out if he chose to put a bowling alley in on the site, he would not have had to appear before the Planning Commission and City Council. Johnson reported as parents we are all looking for positive things for our children to do, and he viewed Grand Slam as a positive way to spend leisure time. The City Planner pointed out that in order to operate amusement devices at Grand Slam, Mr. Johnson would have to obtain an amusement device license. The number of devices would be limited to three, since an amusement center is defined as having four machines or more, and such a center is not a permitted use in the I -P District. The Planner indicated even though the batting cages are operated by tokens, they would not be considered amusement devices since they are under the direct supervision of Grand Slam employees. Vending machines as well are not considered amusement devices. Montour pointed out that the text amendment merely clarifies the definition of sports and health club as well as makes recreational uses subject to conditional use permits. The Planner replied that that is correct. Carson felt bowling alleys and dance halls should be removed from the listing of commercial recreational uses, as he did not feel these were desirable uses in the I -P District. Montour pointed out that if the ordinance amendment is adopted, a conditional use permit would be required for a bowling alley or dance hall in the I -P District. Knudsen felt that in reality neither a bowling alley nor dance hall will locate in the industrial park since each would want a liquor license. Mr. Keis moved adoption of an ordinance amending sections 902 and 918 of the Little Canada City Code, known as the Zoning Ordinance, by establishing provisions for the operation of commercial recreational uses in the Industrial Park District. Motion seconded by Montour. 4 Page 20
