REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 11-22-93 <br /> ITEM NO a <br /> Departme Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br /> tAjf,- Hearin <br /> Item Description* Alladin's castle request for a special use <br /> permit for an amusement establishment <br /> (gameroom) at 1705 W., Highway 36 (Rosedale <br /> Center) . <br /> Background <br /> 1. Alladin's Castle is proposing to add a family entertainment <br /> center to the Rosedale Mall, to add to the total experience of <br /> mall shoppers who are increasingly expecting entertainment to <br /> be available as a part of the shopping experience. In the <br /> shopping center zoning district, such entertainment centers can <br /> be considered by special use permit. Section 109 of the <br /> Roseville city code also requires annual licenses for amusement <br /> devices. This section of the code defines a "gameroom" as a <br /> business establ i shinent where more than 50% of the gross <br /> receipts are derived from the operation of amusement devices. <br /> Special requirements for licensing of gamerooms are also <br /> included in this section of the code. most notable is the <br /> requirement that gamerooms be at least 1500 feet from -any <br /> resident, school building, or park. Alladin's castle proposal <br /> meets this definition and must be considered a gameroom <br /> business* <br /> 2 Alladin' s Castle is proposing to open a 6755 sq, ft. family <br /> amusement center as a part of the interior mall at Rosedale <br /> Shopping Center, No addition to the shopping center or <br /> exterior remodeling is proposed as a part of this application <br /> for a -special use permit, Because no additional space is being <br /> proposed, no additional demand for parking at the center would <br /> be required <br /> 3 . Section 109 * 030 of the city code states that no license shall <br /> be granted for any gameroom which is less than 1500 feet from <br /> any residence, is less than 1500 feet from any school building <br /> or school yard, or is less than 1500 feet from any park, Th x s <br /> distance is to be measured from the licensed premises to the <br /> property line of-. any parcel used for residential, school <br /> building/yard, or park. Given this distance requirement, an <br /> interpretation of this section of the code would lead to the <br /> conclusion that gamerooms were intended to he limited to <br /> regional facilities such as the Rosedale Shopping center with <br /> its expanse of parking area and the peripheral commercial <br />
