58 are included in the analysis below, and the full comments offered by DRC members are included with 59 this RPCA as Attachment D. 60 Section 1009.02.C of the City Code establishes a mandate that the City make five specific findings 61 pertaining a proposed conditional use. The Planning Commission has reviewed the application and 62 offers the following draft findings. 63 1. The proposed use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan 64 does not speak directly to the proposed use or the subject property, but the Planning Commission 65 finds that the proposal is generally consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan because: 66 a. It represents the Comprehensive Plan’s broad goals promoting high quality reinvestment. 67 b. A high-tech amusement use among the office, retail, personal service, and other uses that 68 surround it contributes to the commercial-area goal of “promot\[ing\] an appropriate mix of 69 commercial development types within the community.” 70 2. The proposed use is not in conflict with any Regulating Maps or other adopted plans.The site is not 71 subject to any regulating map or other adopted plans. 72 3. The proposed use is not in conflict with any City Code requirements. Based on the plans that have 73 been received and reviewed thus far, staff have not uncovered any City Code conflicts, and the 74 proposed amusement area must meet all applicable City Code regulations, or the applicant must 75 secure any necessary variance approvals, in order to receive the required construction permits. 76 Because the use will be occupying an existing tenant space, it is unlikely conflicts with City Code 77 would materialize. Moreover, a conditional use approval can be rescinded if the approved use fails to 78 comply with all applicable City Code requirements or any conditions of the approval. 79 4. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other public facilities. 80 The proposed VR amusement will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, or other public 81 facilities because its impacts are expected to be comparable to many of the other uses permitted in 82 the RB-2 zoning district. 83 5. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively impact 84 traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and general welfare. 85 Consistent with the preceding findings, the Planning Commissionbelieves that the proposed 86 amusement area will not create adverse traffic impacts or surrounding property values, and will not 87 cause harm to the public health, safety, and general welfare, especially when compared to other uses 88 permitted at the property. 89 Public Comment 90 The duly noticed public hearing for the conditional use application was held by the Planning 91 Commission on October 2, 2019. No members of the public spoke for or against the proposal, and at the 92 conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval 93 of the proposed amusement area as a conditional use. Much of the Commission’sdeliberation centered 94 on confusion as to the definition provided in City Code for “amusement” and why a conditional use was 95 necessary. Draft minutes of the October 2 Planning Commission meeting are included with this RCA as 96 Attachment E. At the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff has not received any 97 additional questions or comments from members of the public about this application. 7d RCA Page 3 of 4
