j16/ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 1l-26-90 ITEM NO.: C-5"" Manager Reviewed: ~ Agenda section: Hearings 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 condi tion that a securi ty 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 reviewed this item at the October 15 Work Session and decided to conduct further analysis of the issue in November. At tHe November 19, 1990 work session, the Council discussed a revised ordinance regarding amusement room operations and directed staff to research an ordinance prohibiting additional amusement rooms in the City. The City Attorney has been advised regarding the Council's concerns relating to this project and amusement rooms in general. He will be prepared to discuss specific considerations at the time of the meeting. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Mot i on to app rove/ deny Thomas Theisen/Welsh Company's request for Special Use Permit and license for an amusement room at 1655 County Road B-2.
