zoning. ordinance and the plan for physical development of the district as
.embodied in the comprehensive plan for the development of the City;
C. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and

(See sec. 14, Ordinance 1638)
This request is for the expansion of Penthouse Billiard from 6900 sf to 9100 sf. The
previous use of this -:lease space was Click's, .another; pool hall. Click's was an
established use when the ordinance was changed. to require conditional use permits for
nightclubs, therefore the"existing use was grandfathered.
The existing. lease space. is located on the western end of the last building on the south
side. of the shopping center, adjacent to the dry cleaners (see area map and plan). The
nearest residential area is the adjoining trailer park, residents of which had opposed the
"Globe" nightclub located to the east of this center.
There is currently no parking problem within the shopping center due in part to the fact
that many of the lease. spaces. m the center are vacant: The total. square footage leased
to theaters, restaurants, and: 'nightclubs. in the` center will be restricted to 25 % of the
total leasable .space. Parking therefore. should not become a problem in the future.
