Date Submitted to CWM19 A
Date SnhRtted to CoUtlCll
The City Council gave site plan approval for the Entertainment Complex on January 22, 1996.
(see attached -letter to Verenelle Clayton dated March 25, 1996 for conditions of approval). The
project included the redevelopment of the bowling center and the old Instant Web building. The
complex includes a movie theaters, the bowling center, Pauly's Restaurant and limited retail. The
applicants are requesting the project be developed into two different phases. Staff is looking for
some direction from the City Council as to whether or not they would permit the phasing of the
project.
Analysis
The request for the two phase approach is based on the fact that neither the bowling center or the
theater want to be tied to each other's ability to proceed. The development proposal calls for an
interior wall to be built that would separate the theater and bowling uses. The issues staff has
relates to the exterior of the building. Some of the concerns of the phased approach that staff has
are:
-the exterior of the building would also be phased —what would the building look like
when only half of the facade is developed?
- parking including circulation of the lot and drainage; the applicant has provided a parking
p lan showing the two phase approach lease see attachment Can the site be properly
drained when there is only partial development of the parking lot?
