CASE REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND AN OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Ty Ritter of KRS Investments has purchased the outdoor recreational facility formerly known as Cheap Thrills. The facility is located on Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey, just west of the Brooks store on Armstrong Blvd. Observations: The subject property is located in the Industrial District and Mr. Ritter is proposing to expand the recreational facility by the addition of batting cages. The use is in the Industrial District because of a conditional use permit issued by the City in 1988 and the conditional use permit process is required in order to expand or enlarge upon the use. There is sufficient area remaining on the property to install batting cages without encroaching on required off-street parking. The former property owners defaulted on the requirement to pave the off-street parking area. Mr. Ritter is willing to fulfill that commitment; however, he is requesting a 2 year time frame to complete the improvements because of other landscaping and property improvements slated for the property in 1994. The following items are enclosed for your information and review: a) b) c) d) Site location map Site plan Proposed findings of fact Proposed conditional use permit Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the request for a conditional use permit.
