Additional allowance of 5 people <br />TOTAL: 43 people at peak occupancy, based on the narrative provided by the Permittee. <br />Maximum occupancy of 68 people, based on the building code analysis. This includes a maximum <br />occupancy of 30 people in the batting cages, 16 people in the pro shop, 18 people in the flex room at the <br />back of the tenant space, and 1 person each in the manager's office and three storage rooms. <br />The Permittee uses a scheduled reservation model, which limits loitering, customer overlap, and overall <br />occupancy of the space at any given time. Additionally, whether 43 or 68 people drive individually to the Subject <br />Property, there will be ample parking availability to accommodate the total demand for D-BAT and all other <br />tenants in BLIP II. Should a problem result from insufficient parking supply, the Applicant has committed to <br />striping additional parking stalls in the loading dock area on the north side of the building. This parking area <br />would look similar to the Adrenaline Sports Center's north parking lot at BLIP I, which is directly west of the <br />Subject Property. Overall, Staff agrees with the Applicant and Permittee that existing parking on-site will be <br />sufficient for the proposed use. <br />Occupancy <br />The space was previously occupied by a manufacturing user. Since the use is changing, the Applicant will apply <br />for a Change of Use permit, and a new SAC Determination Form will be required. All of these items are handled <br />administratively by Staff. The space is being designed for the maximum number of occupants, which is reflected <br />in the parking analysis attached to this staff report. Should the Applicant choose to have larger spectator events or <br />tournaments that would bring in more people, changes to the building would be required to comply with Building <br />Code requirements, mainly pertaining to the number of exits and restrooms. <br />Additional Information <br />The Planning Commission may recall In the Game Pickleball and Golf, a similar Indoor Commercial Recreation <br />use that sought a Conditional Use Permit in the BLIP V building in 2025. The Permittee's proposal falls within <br />the same use category in Ramsey's Zoning Code, but the proposed use is generally less intense for parking <br />demand than the In the Game project. <br />Additionally, the proposed Conditional Use Permit is specifically written to address D-BAT's business model. If <br />D-BAT ceases operations and is replaced by another type of Indoor Commercial Recreation use (for example: a <br />gymnastics facility, a trampoline park, etc.), an amended Conditional Use Permit will be required. Alternately, if <br />D-BAT expands into additional space in the BLIP II building, the Conditional Use Permit will need to be <br />amended. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative 1: Recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, as requested by the Applicant and <br />recommended by Staff. <br />Alternative 2: Recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit with modifications, based on discussion and <br />supporting findings of fact. <br />Alternative 3: Recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit, based on supporting findings of fact. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to recommend the City Council approve Resolution #26-078, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for <br />Indoor Commercial Recreation at 8252 147th Lane NW, Suite 700.
