" REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: I I --- Item No.: Department A proval: f( Agenda Section Reports and Recommendations Manager Reviewed II Description: Request to clarify, by zoning text amendment, the zoning districts in which a bingo hall can be placed as a permitted conditional use or permitted use. Background The City Council has spent considerable time discussing an approach to where bingo halls may be placed in the community. After further review of both the community and legal aspects, an alternative which appears to have the most merit at this time comprises a text change in the zoning code to clarify bingo halls as either a permitted use or a use by conditional use permit. 1. Zoning for business districts B-1 (Limited Business) and BIB (Limited Retail), would allow a bingo hall as a permitted conditional use and would include the restrictions required by the licensing of amusement establishments. 2. Zoning for business districts B-2 (Retail Business), B-3 (General Business), SC (Shopping Center), 1-1 (Light Industrial), and 1-2 (General Industrial) would allow a bingo hall as a permitted use including the restrictions required by the licensing of amusement establishments. The uniform standards for parking, setbacks, joint facilities, etc, would be as outlined in the City Code and considered for places of public assembly and other applicable conditions. Policy Implications As this is a policy and zoning text change, a process will be required to refer this change to the planning commission for their review and recommendation.
