cP/s/ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 10/22/90 ITEM NO.: C _ 1 Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda section: 1/ It, ~ Hearings Item Description: Thomas Theisen/Welsh Company request for a Special Use Permit and license for an amusement room at the Welsh Crossroads Shopping Center at 1655 County Road B-2. At the October 3, 1990 Planning commission meeting, a motion to deny Thomas Theisen/Welsh Company's request for a Special Use Permit for an amusement room at the Welsh Crossroads Shopping Center at 1655 County Road B-2, based on neighborhood safety issues and potential harm to market value of adjacent properties, failed on a 3-3 vote. A motion to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit, with the condition that a security plan be developed and reviewed every twelve months and that a study be done by the applicant comparing police calls at shopping malls with arcades versus those without arcades, failed for lack of a second. The Planning commission unanimously recommended that the City Council, in reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, should clarify the policy of allowing amusement centers in the City because of the security impact, the impact on public health, safety, and welfare, and because of the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. The Council discussed this issue at the October 15 Council work session, and directed staff to prepare a revised ordinance regarding amusement room operations. This ordinance will be completed for council adoption at the November 13 meeting. It is staff's recommenda- tion that the Council continue action on the Thomas Theisen/Welsh Company's request until the new ordinance is in place. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to continue the Thomas Theisen/Welsh Company's request for Special Use Permit and license for an amusement room at 1655 County Road B-2 to the regular City Council meeting of November 13, 1990.
