r <br /> r <br /> from the operation of amusement devices, has an amusement device manager <br /> on the premise during all hours of operation, is licensed by the City, and has <br /> implemented a security plan which has been approved by the Chief of Police. <br /> Section 109.030 states that no license shall be granted for any gameroom <br /> which is less than 1500 feet from any residents, is Iess than 1500 feet from <br /> any school building or school yard, or is less than 1500 feet from any park. <br /> This distance is to be measured from the licenses premises to the property <br /> line of any parcel used for residents, school building/yard, or park. Given <br /> this distance requirement, an interpretation 51'this section of the code would <br /> lead to the conclusion that gamerooms were intended to be limited to <br /> regional facilities such as Rosedale Shopping Center with its expanse of <br /> parking area and peripheral commercial development separating it from <br /> residential uses. The proposed location for the Alladin's Castle is the old <br /> Woolworth space in the Montgomery Ward's wing of the center. From this <br /> location, a 1500 foot radius will not cross any residential school or park <br /> property. <br /> We have attached information from Alladin's Castle regarding their proposed <br /> use and how it is different from ggmerooms of the past. This information <br /> also describes Alladin's Castles' corporate philosophy and management style <br /> and talks to where they see the family entertainment industry going in the <br /> future. This information also speaks to the security program and cooperation <br /> with the Roseville Police Department. The Department has_ had the <br /> application information for their review and have indicated they are <br /> comfortable with Alladin's method of operation and security plans. <br /> CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION <br /> AIladin's Castle is proposing to open a family amusement center in the 6755 sq. ft. <br /> space in Rosedale Shopping Center that previously housed Woolworths. No <br /> additions to the center or exterior are proposed. The proposal is <br /> consistent with the special requirements for licensing contained in Section 109 of <br /> the Roseville City Code. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the special use <br /> permit application for an entertainment center at 1705 W. Highway 36. Because <br /> "gainerooms" require annual licensing by the City Council, it would be our <br /> recommendation that the special use permit be limited to the time that a valid <br /> gameroom license is in effect. <br />
