April 29, 1982 77/1// ,~ APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP-104, SGT. BILKOS INC. PURPOSE To consider a request for a special use permit to use a existing build- ing as a dance hall. ~1J~ BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Sgt. Bilkos Inc. Jim Hanna , LOCATION: 553 - 9th Street NW (South of the Munie - Old Post Office Building) B-4, Downtown Business District Dance Hall/Social Center (See attached applicant's letter) s;t',Aa.'5 /Je?/CfT ~iAAJ p--f ~ ;-0 -'Z-(/ elf tJ 57 -~ - '?:Jj /t-v...~ "- 7-1 ZONING: PROPOSED USE: PERTIENT CODE REGULATIONS A. Section 5-340 b. states that: "Uses listed in Section 5-240 shall be allowed within the downtown business district upon issuance of a special use permit," B. Section 5-240 a. describes t~e proposed use that requires a speci~l permit: "a. Amusement and recreation, armory, assembly hall, bowling alley, dance hall, pool and billiards, theather, skating rink or other social sport, or recreation center operated as a business." C. Section 8-130 lists the standards for review ~f a special use permit. STAFF COMMENTS There are three major areas of concern relating to the proposed use: 1) Lack of required parking spaces; 2) Dances require police officers on duty; and 3) Potential for the concentration of juveniles across the street and in the same parking lot as the liquor store. Parking This type of use does not have a specially stated parking formula in the zoning code. If the formula to be used for this social hall is to be the same as Brandywine addition it would be 1 space for every 2 seats. The proposal has approximately 200 seats which would require 100 parking spaces. If the private club calculation was used, 1 space per 5 seats, 40 parking spaces are required. This is a public facility and staff feels that the private club is not applicable. Even if the requirement were between the two - 1 space per 3.5 - 57 spaces would be required.
