Use Permit Application zU-90-07:..4407,W. Peoria Avenue 15SIt.�icks�Pool Hall) This request is an appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial for a use permit to allow patron dancing as an accessory use in the C-2 zoning district located at 4407 West Peoria Avenue (sticks Pool Hall). Billiard halls, bars, and cocktail lounges are permitted uses within the C-2 zoning district. Patron dancing requires a public hearing and the w approval of a use permit. This use permit request as denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their November 8, 1990, public hearing, and the applicant has appealed that action to the City Council. Sticks Pool Hall occupies a building pad within the northwest corner of the Glendale Towne Center shopping center at the southwest corner of 43rd and Peoria Avenues. The Metro Place apartment complex is located immediately to the south of Sticks Pool Hall, and a Glendale Fire station is located immediately to the west. opposition to the use permit from the adjacent neighborhood and commercial tenants was expressed at the Planning and zoning commission meeting. Objections were presented concerning the potential loud noise, unwanted outdoor customer activities, increased intensity, dnd inconsistency with the family-oriented character of the Glendale Towne Center that would be created by approval of this use permit request for patron dancing. The recommendation of staff is to deny Use Permit Application Zu-90-07, inasmuch as the proposed use permit for patron dancing would constitute a materially detrimental use to the adjacent property, to the neighborhood, and to the surrounding businesses. 0"ME Mr. Richard B4,g�n eK, Basinger & Morga, P.C., 11811 N. Tatu Blvd, Ste. P-170, Phoenix, attorney for Sticks, Inc. stated the president, Mr. Schaub was also present. Mr. Basinger discussed the chart depicting the area of Sticks, Inc., which chart had bee distributed to Council. He stated the question is whether a smal dance floor with a D.U. would be an appropriate addition to the Sticks business. He discussed the prior uses of the area where Sticks is located. Mr. Basinger said what Mr. Schaub is asking for is not incompatible with the surrounding area and will make a difference as to whether Mr. Schaub is able to remain in the center and make his business succeed. He discussed the issues 4rought • at the Planning • zoning commission meeting. He requested Council grant the use permit. Mr. Mark DeNauw, 10201 N. 44th Drive, representing Rancho Sante Fe Apartments which is directly behind the shopping center, stated they are opposed to this use permit for patron dancing. They feel the extra business and added noise would be,detrimental to their business. They have family residents and also cater to snowbirds in the winter time. He discussed noise he has heard on occasion. Mayor Renner asked Mr. DeNauw if he is employed by the management.company or the owner; Mr. DeNauw responded the owner. Councilmember Tolby asked Mr. DeNauw if he had any way of knowing that the various noises he heard were connected to that business. Mr. DeNauw answered because basically these events occurred after the rest of the shopping center closed, about one o'clock at night. Also, a lot of people use the property as a shortcut to Sticks. Mr. Michael Rhees, 144 N. 44th Street, Phoenix, attorney for Service Merchandise, discussed CCR's which the Mayor informed him are a private matter and not subject to the discussion and do not bear on the Council's decision. Mr. Rhees stated the problem Service Merchandise has is that this is a continuing, escalating problem that existed since the pool hall opened. Service of alcohol on the premises began and limitations on minors on the rights to enter are all contrary to the interest of Service Merchandise. Ms. Pamela Croteau, 10426 N. 44th Drive, representing neighbors in the area, expressed their opposition to the use permit. She cited noise and the ]iossible growth of the dance area, adding more noise and conjestion. Ms. Croteau stated they also oppose the permit because of increased traffic and parking problems. She suggested that if approved, additional buffering should be added for noise control. • Renner stated the application is for dancing as an accessory use. He wanted to know the point at which a use such as this would move from being an accessory use. Mr. Bob Coons, Planning Director, stated the ordinance is specific in that it is an accessory use and contains a prohibition; it can • be a• certain percentage • the •# area in use. Councilmember Scruggs asked whether written consent of the Center's two major tenants for use which includes consumption of alcohol is in • Mr. • said the answer is no. There is not a disapproval with Target; there is an argument with Service Merchandise. He discussed the lease calling for the use. He said the client went to Council proceedings and open hearings to get two liquor licenses and never heard anything about this until after investing great sums of money. No one brought this to their attention until a management company did when there was a change going on in the ownership. After that, Service Merchandise raised the issue. Councilmember Scruggs asked Mr. Rhees if Servicexerchandise is under the understanding that they had the right • and ability to make a decision regarding whether alcohol could be consumed at an establishment on the premises and whether entertainment such as dancing would require their approval along with Target's. Mr. Rhees responded that the position of Service Merchandise is that the CC&Rls which are • relevant here do require the written consent in advance before any of those activities can occur. Councilmember Scruggs commented on the issue and CC&Rls. She - hopes through the zoning review process the City can come to some sort of resolution as to how to deal with CC&Rls so that the City Council is not put in the position of favoring one over the other. It was moved by Councilmember Scruggs, seconded by Councilmember McAllister, to concur with findings of the Planning and zoning Commission and deny Use Permit Application ZU-90-07. Councilmember McAllister discussed zoning in years past. As we get more crowded, our citizens are attacked by growth. He stated he hopes we learn from these things in future plans so that we do protect people in their homes and we do protect businesses. It takes a concerted effort by everyone in the planning process toi look at all the contingencies and look what's coming down the road. Motion carried by a vote of six to one, Mayor Renner voting nay. Ordinances 9.

Municipal Property Corporation Refunding Bonds For the past two years staff has been monitoring the municipal market, in an effort to produce for the City a reduction in Debt Service costs.
