" 8 Attorney. Advises' City. Doesn' t Have to Grant Each and Every Request 9 for a Conditional Use Permit 10 Cavanaugh said .it :was- his understanding that amusement arcades, are 11 permitted conditional uses which - had to be granted -but which- could. 12 have some restrictions put on them-; 13 therefore , he perceived the Council was not able to keep the arcade 14 from coming into his shopping center. 15 Soth told him• that was not completely true; 16 said although amusement arcades are a use permitted only by a 17 conditional use permit, the Council has some discretion in granting 18 conditional use permits . In other words, it ' s possible-.to deny a 19 conditional use permit because there ' s nothing to say each and every 20 request zor a conditional use permit has to be granted; 21 added that if granting such a permit were automatic, there would be 22 nothing to discuss that evening, except the conditions. 23 Cavanaugh indicated there had been other. requests made for similar 24 operations in Apache which he- had turned down, but accepted Dan 25 Heilicher ' s proposition because the Apache management knew it was a 26 high quality type of operation held in high regard and would. not .be a 27 detriment to Apache Plaza; i 28 indicated he perceived the Commission had been- mostly- concerned -about. . 29 the arcade ' s proximity to a bar; 30 pointed out that in 1983 .- and 1984 a game room in which food -had been 31 sold had been operated 150 feet away_ from the liquor lounge in.
