AGENDA ITEM NO.. 2: Consideration ofaparking lot plan to determine the parking requirements for
batting cages to be located in the northeast quadrantofTe~ Avenue. and Krenek Tap Road. (92-423)
Staff Planner Kuenzel presented the Putt-Putt site plan and. explained that since commercial amusements are
not:given a parking requirement in the, Zoning Ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission must
determine that. requirement. Staff'surveyed several Texas cities but found no parking .ratio that could be
recommended.. Studiessuch as those found in the ITE handbook were inadequate for the proposed uses. ':"
Theiapplicant is proposing 70 spaces. These will serve the two existing 18 hole golf courses, the ,8' proposed
bumper boats and the proEosed6 station batting range. Due to.the lack of adequa.te .~udies av~~lable,. staff
cannot be sure that this will accommodate" the parking demand for this expansion. :Staff has encouraged the
. ,applicant to supply. numbers to support his proposal. Included in the packets is a letter from David Lloyd of
· Putt-Putt, Inc. in whIch he has listed the number of parking spaces provided at similar facilities. Staff Planner
Kuenzel stated .that theCommissioncan'set a parking requirement for a particular use or .set requirements. on
this specific site. Because of the mixture of uses in this case, it would probably be better to make this parking
requirement site specific.
Chairperson Hawthorne suggested that motions made on tItis Item: be site specific and for commercial
amusements in general instead of specific uses such as batting cages or bumper boats.
Representative of the applicant Stuart Kling approached the Commission and stated that there are 46 existing
parking.spaces and the applicant is proposing 24 additional spaces to accommodate the bumper boats and
batting cages addition.

however, any additional amusements that' are to. be added to this. site must come batk. before the Commission
for consideration. .Commissioner Lane seconded the motion which passed unopposed. (6 - 0).
