Properties, LLC and the building is occupied by the Northern Lights Bingo Hall and Bright Side Cafe. The Applicant is proposing to renovate the existing building and resurface the parking lot. The Applicant is proposing a phased development with the event center established in Phase I and restaurant and adult day care uses to be established in Phase II and Phase III, respectively. The Applicant is seeking review and approval for Phases I and II at this time. Approvals 1. Zoning Code Amendment The Applicant is proposing to use the property as an Event Center. Currently, the city code is absent of land use language permitting an Event Center use or establishing standards for the development or operation of an event center within any zoning district. To allow this land use, the City's Zoning Code would need to be amended to add a definition for an Event Center and to designate this type of land use within a zoning district. The proposed Event Center would not be permitted without a zoning code amendment. As part of the land use application, the Applicant has proposed for the use of an event center to be allowed in the B-2 General Business Zoning District through a conditional use permit. The Applicant has stated that the addition of an event center as a conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District aligns with the districts purpose of accommodating commercial activities that serve the local community. The other approvals noted in the land use application would not be applicable unless the Event Center use is permitted within the B-2 General Business Zoning District. 2. Planned Unit Development A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in the B-2 Zoning District. In addition, a PUD would allow for performance standard flexibility. This proposal involves both the initial Master Plan PUD and the Final PUD for Phase I and II. Under the PUD Master Plan, the Applicant shall provide details for each stage of development, but would be required to seek the PUD Final Plan approval of Phase III at the time of establishing the future use of an adult day care. The Applicant has provided details in the Architectural Plans which identifies how the Subject Property would be utilized in Phase I as an event center, Phase II as a restaurant, and Phase III as an adult day care. The City Council should consider the different phases of development while considering the Master and Final PUD as proposed in this application. In this application, the Applicant is seeking approval for Phase I, the event center, and Phase II, which includes the restaurant. The Applicant states in the narrative that Phase II would begin immediately after the completion of Phase I for the event center with the restaurant being operational once a liquor license is obtained. 3. Conditional Use Permit The Applicant is proposing that in the B-2 Zoning District, a Conditional Use Permit is required for an event center. Typical factors to consider in the evaluation of the CUP request may be hours of operation, potential noise from the proposed use, lights from vehicles, and on -site traffic. The Applicant is proposing all events will be held inside the building to contain noise within the venue and their request includes supplementary materials related to a security plan and traffic considerations.
