ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM 4A PUBLIC HEARING, THE PHOBIA PROJECT AT 138 NORTH WILSON STREET, [4.A.The Phobia Project at 138 N. Wilson Street, Ste. A (Case 25-145): Hold a public hearing and consider and take possible action on a zoning ordinance change request from “C” Commercial, to "C" Commercial with a Specific Use Permit for indoor commercial amusement as an escape room. (Staff Contact: Emilio Sanchez, Development Services Deputy Director)] SUITE A, CASE 25-145. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON A ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUEST FROM C COMMERCIAL TO C COMMERCIAL WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT AS AN ESCAPE ROOM. STAFF PRESENTER IS EMILIO SANCHEZ. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS, EMILIO SANCHEZ, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPUTY DIRECTOR. THE REQUEST IS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT AT 138 NORTH WILSON STREET, SUITE A IT IS PROPOSED TO BE A ZONING CHANGE FROM C COMMERCIAL TO C COMMERCIAL WITH AN SUP FOR AN INDOOR COMMERCIAL AMUSEMENT. BACK IN 2018, YOU ALL APPROVED AN INDOOR AMUSEMENT FOR AN SUP FOR AX THROWING. THAT BUSINESS HAS SHUT ITS DOORS AND THE PROPOSED APPLICANT, MISS ROBIN URENA, IS REQUESTING TO OPEN UP THE PHOBIA PROJECT. SO CURRENTLY THE SITE IS ZONED COMMERCIAL. IT IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE OLD TOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS OLD TOWN. THE APPLICANT IS NOT PROPOSING ANY SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES THAT WOULD REQUIRE A COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN, WITH ELEVATIONS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE OLD TOWN DESIGN DISTRICT. SHE IS JUST PROPOSING SOME INDOOR CHANGES TO SUITE A AT 138 NORTH WILSON STREET. THE PICTURES ON THE SCREEN DEPICT THE LOCATION OF SUITE A AT THAT AT THAT 138 NORTH WILSON STREET. AND THEN THESE ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES FOR THE INTERIOR. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH ESCAPE ROOMS, BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE ROOMS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT THEMES ON IT'S KIND OF LIKE A PUZZLE. SO YOU OR YOUR TEAM ENTERS INTO THIS AREA. THE OWNER HAS DESIGNED KIND OF CLUES AND PUZZLES AND THINGS FOR YOU TO SOLVE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME WHERE YOU CAN EXIT OR FINISH THE ASSIGNED TASK IN THAT ROOM, AND THE APPLICANT IS IN THE AUDIENCE SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY IGNORANCE ON ESCAPE ROOM. SHE MAY HAVE A MUCH MORE IN-DEPTH ABILITY TO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION IF YOU IF YOU SO DESIRE. THEY ARE PROPOSING AN OUTDOOR PATIO AREA THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE SUP. THIS IS JUST A DEPICTION OF WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING FOR THE OUTDOOR AREA. [00:05:04] I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S PART OF THE ESCAPE ROOM. IT'S MORE OF A AN AREA FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO TO SIT AND GATHER BEFORE AND AFTER OR WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR THEIR TIME SLOT FOR THEIR ESCAPE ROOM. WE DID SEND NOTICES TO ALL PUBLIC, EXCUSE ME, ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300FT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. WE ALSO PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER AND POSTED A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY. AND AS OF THIS EVENING, STAFF HAS HAD NO FORMAL INQUIRIES, WHETHER IT WAS IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR THE ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FROM C COMMERCIAL TO SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR COMMERCIAL INDOOR AMUSEMENT FOR AN ESCAPE ROOM. AND THE REASON BEING IS INDOOR AMUSEMENT CONFORMS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN OLD TOWN. AND I AM HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. AND AS STATED EARLIER, THE APPLICANT IS IN THE AUDIENCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ANSWERED FROM THE APPLICANT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU EMILIO. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:06. DOES ANYBODY ON THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THE ONLY QUESTION I REALLY HAVE IS WHERE IS THIS OUTDOOR SEATING AREA GOING TO BE LOCATED, ACCORDING TO THE MAP? SO ON THE MAP IT WILL BE LET'S SEE, THIS AREA HERE. OKAY. SO I GUESS THAT'S THE NORTH EAST CORNER. OKAY. AND THE ONLY THING THAT I MIGHT SUGGEST IS THAT, OF COURSE YOU KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE PARK THAT MAYBE PUT A LITTLE A COUPLE STATIONARY POLES IN THE GROUND, STICK THEM IN THE GROUND WHERE NOTHING GETS ACCIDENTALLY RAN INTO. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY ELSE ON THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CONCERNS? ALL RIGHT. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:07 P.M., AND I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE CASE NUMBER 25-145. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. HAVE A MOTION BY CLINT SECOND BY DAVID. ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT.
