Woolard, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Reconsideration of Billiard Clubs as a Compatible Use in the CPD-1 zone. INTRODUCTION The City Council, at its meeting of June 4, 1991, determined by a 3 to 2 vote that billiard dubs could be a compatible use in the CPD-1 zone with an approved conditional use permit. Subsequent to that determination, an application (CUP 91- 008) was filed by Pool Pockets, Inc. for a billiard club with 25 tables and a full service bar.at 320 - 326 East Huntington Drive. The Planning Commission, on July 9, 1991,,. denied the CUP application, and, the applicant subsequently filed an appeal to the City Council. At its meeting of August 20, 1991, the City Council denied the appeal. On the basis of the testimony presented by the opponents to the appeal, the City Council directed staff to prepare a report for the reconsideration of billiard clubs as a_compatible use in the CPD-1 zone. ANALYSIS - When the CPD-1 regulations were adopted in 1981, they were designed to primarily encourage business and professional office 'uses, financial institutions, service oriented businesses, and very limited retail uses. Until the City Council considered. the compatibility of billiard clubs in the CPD-1 zone, entertainment oriented uses had not been contemplated for this area. The CPD-1 zone applies to the area bounded by the 210 Freeway on the north, Fifth Avenue to the east, the railroad tracks to the south, and Second Avenue to the west. A map of this area is attached. At the Council's August 20th public hearing of the appeal, testimony was presented, by local business office owners and employees, that a billiard dub use would be detrimental to their office uses. Specific concerns were in regards to parking and security issues. Additional testimony in opposition was presented by citizens who did not believe that a billiard dub would complement the residential and professional business characters of the City. There were some local retail and service LASER ty. The P)44'`' business owners that testified in support of the appeal. The CPD-1 zone encourages business and professional office uses, and, based upon the testimony presented at the hearing, the Council denied the appeal. Attached is a packet of information from Charles and Paula Baldini. They are prepared to apply for a conditional use permit for a billiard club at 411 E. Huntington Drive, the Arcadia Landmark Center. ACTION The City Council may determine that a billiard club is not a compatible use in the CPD-1 zone, and should direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution, for adoption at the next meeting, reflecting the Council's legislative determination that pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9260.1.12.(14), a billiard club is not a compatible use in the CPD-1 zone. • Reconsideration of Billiard Clubs as a Compatible Use in the CPD-1 zone.

Baldini RE: Reconsideration of Billiard Parlor Use in CPD 1 Zone (Huntington Drive & 5th Avenue) INTRODUCTION We have been residents of Duarte since 1984 and are very familiar with the goods and services provided by the communities of Duarte, Monrovia, and Arcadia. In recent years we have witnessed the rapid growth in all forms of development throughout these cities, especially along Huntington Dr. This growth has provided us and other local residents of the area with unparalleled options for goods,'services, entertainment, and dining. We believe a billiards parlor project, as we envision it, will provide a new and welcome form of entertainment for a majority of the residents of these communities. Upon witnessing the strong popularity of the sport of billiards among all demographic groups, we began researching a billiards parlor project for the area in February of 1990. After examining many sites in the San Gabriel Valley, we ultimately chose Arcadia as a community whose residents and many visitors might enjoy the classic appeal of this type of entertainment. We also chose Arcadia because we truly enjoy the City and hope to live there one day. Unfortunately a competing project (Gateway Center Billiards Club) forced us to temporarily abandon our plans. We are aware of the situation regarding the issue of billiards in the City of Arcadia, as we have been following the events of the Gateway project and have attended previous council Meetings. It is not our intention to belabor the pros and cons of billiards or embark on an unwanted business venture; however, we would like the council to hear our concept and determine if it is a suitable project for the image and needs of the City of Arcadia. We certainly do not wish to further enrage the residents of Arcadia by rehashing this issue, but we have been working on this project for some time and felt that we must give it our best effort. LASER IMAGED Arcadia City Council August 28, 1991 Page 2 CONCEPT Given the recent events at previous council meetings, we understand that the city council is now fully educated on the sport of billiards. Therefore, we think we can agree that billiards is an extremely popular sport, and that certain types of billiards parlors/pool halls exist. There are still those dank, dark, sleazy halls that people have historically associated with pool; however, there also are centers that provide a clean, comfortable, enjoyable environment for all family members. The latter of course, is our concept for Baldini's Billiard Parlor. After visiting many such parlors we believe we have designed a concept that is suitable for any community. The CONCEPT for BALDINI'S BILLIARDS PARLOR will feature: 1. r 19 billiard tables, 4-5 video games, juke box, big screen TV, and a food and beverage counter. Capacity range is expected to be 95-110. 2. Entertainment for all residents and visitors of Arcadia and the surrounding communities; all age groups will be welcome. 3. Top quality billiard equipment at reasonable prices; $6.00-$10.00 per hour depending on time of day and number of players. (Four players can play for two hours at a price less than the cost of a movie).. 4. Top quality food (cold sandwiches of nonprocessed meats) and beverages (premium beers, wines, softdrinks) at reasonable prices. (Hearty sandwiches under $5.00.) 5. NO hard liquor sales. 6. NOT a.21 and over nightclub theme; this should eliminate potential attractive nuisance issues with minors and other loiterers. 7. A Baldini family investment to be family owned and operated. It is anticipated that Paula Baldini will manage the daily operations and an owner.will be present virtually 100% of time. 8. Non-smoking playing areas. 9. Prohibitions on loitering, gambling, foul language, and boisterous behavior. LASER IMAGED g Arcadia City Counci,ti._ ■ • August 28, 1991 Page 3 - 10. Open, well-lit, clean environment. Over 50% of the facility's surrounding walls are floor to ceiling windows providing high visibility. The security service making its rounds can easily view the entire center. 11. League nights similar to handicap bowling leagues (providing an entertainment environment superior to most bowling alleys). 12. Teaching clinics for youths and amateurs. 13. Tournaments for all levels of play. 14. The operation will be kept spotlessly clean. LOCATION The facility will occupy 6,152 square feet on the west wing of the 2nd floor of the Arcadia Landmark Development (northwest corner of Huntington Drive and 5th Avenue). SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS AND PRELIMINARY PLAN The LOCATION provides: 1. Adequate evenly distributed parking facilities including a multi-level parking structure which provides 2nd floor accessibility at the rear of the center. SEE PHOTOS 2. The arrangement of.parking and the location of Baldini's on the 2nd floor will have the effect of minimizing traffic congestion. The different peak operating hours will alleviate any parking issues. 3. The Isolated" 2nd floor location of Baldini's minimizes disturbances to other tenants and neighbors. 4. The 2nd floor location should discourage loitering or "hanging-out". 5. No previous parking reductions have been granted for this center. • We further believe that the premier location will dictate the type of clientele that is attracted. Arcadia is an upscale community and the clientele should mirror that fact. LASER IMAGED. " Arcadia City Counci . L August 28, 1991 Page 4 RESIDENT'S ISSUES AND OBJECTIONS We have heard the objections registered by some of Arcadia's residents and feel our concept alleviates many of those concerns. In fact, we believe that if our concept was presented first, the objections would have been far fewer. 1. A Billiard Parlor will attract°slimed and motorcycle gangs from neighboring cities. We believe that the majority of citizens in neighboring communities are fine upstanding ones who would be attracted to this type of establishment. We also believe the concept for Baldini's and its location will discourage "slime" from attending. The slime will more than likely want to frequent the low class establishments which they are accustomed to in other cities. 2. A Billiard Parlor will attract drug dealers. The layout for Baldini's facility is such that every table will be in full view of employees (no hidden corners) and the whole facility is highly visible (many windows) to security personnel. Drug dealers will not have the proper environment for dealing drugs. 3. A Billiard Parlor will attract loitering and gangs. The off-the-street location, the visibility, and the security should significantly detract from this situation. 4. A Billiards Parlor would be a nuisance to other tenants. Baldini's will be somewhat isolated on the 2nd floor wing and would operate at different peak times than other retail and office tenants. 5. A Billiards Parlor would create traffic and parking problems. The Arcadia Landmark facility has adequate, evenly distributed parking for all tenants. 6. A Billiards "Club" will be nothing more than nightclub with pool tables. Baldini's is not a club and all age groups can feel welcome. 7. The Billiards Parlor owners are outsiders out to detract from Arcadia's image. Baldini's is a family business owned by local residents. LASER IMAGED EJ Arcadia City Council. August 28, 1991 Page 5 CONCLUSION As with the previous billiard project with which you are familiar, we believe that a billiards use of this kind provides a fun, upstanding entertainment option to the community. We also believe the majority of residents, business groups, and visitors of Arcadia are in support of this form of entertainment. We respectfully request that you hear our ideas at the September 3, 1991 Council Meeting before you make a decision to eliminate the billiard use in the CPD 1 zone. We would like the opportunity to answer your questions and respond to the Arcadia citizenry. • r Thank you for your attention and consideration of this matter.
