Memo to Planning Commission/CU 02-16 <br /> April 22,2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • Analysis <br /> Overview <br /> Located on the property is the vacant Ron's Foods facility that is 24,000 square feet in area. <br /> The parking lot is paved and provides 114 spaces. No changes are being proposed to the <br /> exterior of the building;all improvements will be on the interior. <br /> Conditional Use Permit <br /> The applicant proposes to convert the existing interior of the building into a motorized Go- <br /> Kart facility. Proposed is a Go-Kart track,pit area,bathrooms,meeting room, and <br /> ticket/concession area. Packaged foods such as pop and chips will be sold at the concession <br /> area. Video games are also proposed along one wall of the facility. The applicant anticipates <br /> the following hours of operation: <br /> Monday—Thursday: 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. <br /> Friday: 11:00 a.m. to 12 midnight <br /> Saturday: 9:00 a.m. to 12 midnight <br /> Sunday: 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. <br /> The applicant should be required to enforce the City's curfew requirements as the age of the <br /> clientele will be those 16 years and older. The parking lot should also be patrolled on a <br /> • regular basis to prevent loitering and improper use of the parking lot. <br /> The zoning code does not identify the specific number of spaces required for this proposed <br /> use. General recreation parking standards require one space four each four patrons when <br /> full. <br /> During the staff review, there were no adverse comments other than a concern in regards to <br /> adequate ventilation in order to remove the exhaust of the Go-Kart motors. The decibel <br /> level of the go-karts was also questioned;will the building provide enough soundproofing to <br /> buffer the adjacent residential neighborhood. The applicant will be required to comply with <br /> all building and fire code requirements in this regard. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the conditional <br /> use permit request with the following conditions: <br /> 1. THE GO-KART OPERATION SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE <br /> BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS. <br /> 2. THE APPLICANT SHALL PROVIDE PROPER FLAMMABLE <br /> MATERIAL STORAGE. <br /> 11111 <br /> S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2003\CU 03-09 Austin\4-22 pc.doc <br />
