The attached ordinance is the same ordinance the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed at their Special meeting on November 23, 2020 meeting and recommended approval. City Council then reviewed the ordinance on first reading at their December 7, 2020 meeting, but upon Final reading at their December 21, 2020 meeting the item was tabled and has died on the table per Roberts Rules of Order. The item was not voted upon by Council because it was determined to bring an ordinance that would allow the ability to revoke a Special Use permit prior to the ordinance of allowing a Rage Room as a Special Use. The revocation of a Special Use ordinance was passed by City Council at their February 22, 2021 meeting. Now that the city has an ordinance the provides for a Special Use to be revoked under certain circumstances, the attached Rage Room as a Special Use ordinance is being brought back through the approval process. In the City Ordinance, Special Uses are for uses that have a unique character and may have a perceived impact upon neighboring lands. Attached is a DRAFT ordinance that would place Rage Rooms as a Special Use in the B1, B2, B3, M1 and M2 zoning districts. As a Special Use, a proposed business owner would submit an application that would be reviewed by the Development Review Committee, who would provide a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a decision. The Planning and Zoning Commission would be able to approve the Special Use, approve the Special Use with additional conditions or deny the Special Use. The Development Review Committee members reviewed the attached ordinance at their March 3, 2021 meeting and recommend approval. The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission will go to City Council on First reading at their April 5, 2021 meeting and on Final reading at their April 19, 2021 meeting.
