Jongp``""'':, President Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time 'Theatre 4 August 1982 I_f you have questions pertaining to this matter please call this office at 433 -1849. Sincerely, Caroline V. Berry Assistant Planner CVB /blk xc: Planning Director AGENDA ITEM INTRODUCTION CITY OF TUKWILA PLANNING DIVISION The developers oaf the Center Place Retail shopping facility have leased a portion of their space to the operators of the Chuck E. Cheese Pizza restaurant franchise. A portion of the floor space will be set aside for video games and other amusement devices. The Planning Director has determined that the amusement center constitutes..a second primary business within that tenant space and is subject therefore to conditional use permit review. FINDINGS . 1) TMC Section 18.64.020 requires, conditional use permit review for "amusement centers." PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT . 82 -12 -CUP Chuck E. Cheese Video Game Center 2) The Chuck E. Cheese restaurant project devotes about 1/4 of its floor area to the operation of token - operated games and rides and will maintain approximately 85 such devices. 3) The franchise company policy is to prohibit entry to the restaurant and game center to persons under 18 years of age unless accompanied by a parent. 4) A Declaration of Environmental Non-Significance for the requested conditional use permit has been granted by the SEPA responsible official. We note, however, that the Police Department anticipates additional demand for public safety services as a direct result of operating the game center. CONCLUSIONS TMC 18.64.050 specifies a series of criteria which must be satisfied in order for the Planning Commission to grant a conditional use permit. Our response follows each restatement of the individual criterion: (1) The proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity Page -2- Planning Commissio -- 82 -12 -CUP Chuck E. .eese Video Game Center of the proposed use or in the district in which the subject property is situated; Conclusion: Any detrimental impacts will most likely be confined to the shopping center premises and should not affect the community at large, due to the operator's strict admission and loitering control policies. (2) The proposed use shall meet or exceed the performance that are required in the district it will occupy; Conclusion: The proposed use will conform with all performance of ,the C -2 (Regional Retail) zoning district. (.3) The proposed development shall be compatible generally with the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation, building and site design; Conclusion: The experience of other communities which have an operating Chuck E. Cheese franchise suggest that evening and weekend hours will generate the highest peak traffic demand. However, these anticipated peak hours should complement the "slack -off" of business activity for the other tenants in Center Place,.thus freeing%up available parking and maneuvering space. A comprehensive technical review by the Planning staff and Police Department of on -site traffic management is currently in progress. (4) The proposed use shall be in keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive and Use Policy Plan; Conclusion: The proposed use does not conflict with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. standards standards . (5) All measures have been taken to minimize the possible adverse impacts which the proposed use may have on the area in which it is located. Conclusion: Our discussions with the applicant suggest that they are especially sensitive to the potential public safety impacts which their amusement center operation represents, as mentioned in the "Findings" section above,and.they have taken management action to control their attractiveness as a "hang -out" for juvenile loitering. It is the opinion of the Police Department, based on their contact with other juris- dictions, that the controls which the Chuck E. Cheese Licenses impose will greatly assist in maintaining order at the Center Place project and that no other extraordinary measures are necessary. The use permit should not be transferrable, however, as a subsequent operator may be less conscientious in controlling juvenile access. Page -3- Planning Commissio 82 -12 -CUP Chuck E.

Jantzen Ave. Suite 440 Portland, OR. 97217 Attn: Sue Ramsey 14 July 1982 HAND - DELIVERED SUBJECT: SEPA Clearance - -Chuck E. Cheese Conditional Use Permit In concert with your tenant's application for a conditional use permit for the amusement center portion of the Chuck E. Cheese rsetaurant to be opened at Center Place, we have circulated an Environmental Checklist as provided in WAC -10 -360 of the State Environmental Policy Act. The responses which have come back from the various agencies consulted require that you supply us with certain additional data before a final Threshold Detrmination is made by the city. The additional information which we shall need is as follows: 1) FIRE DEPT: Interior layout diagram for the building depicting seating and appliance arrangements for purposes of calculating occupant load. 2) PUBLIC WORKS DEPT: Trip generation and traffic analysis identify- ing and quantifying impacts of the proposed restaurant facility on Southcenter Parkway and identifying and quantifying such impacts on the site's internal circu- lation configuration. 3) PLANNING DEPT: A revised analysis of parking demand for the pro- ject as.a whole based on the certainty that the restau- rant will become a tenaat'within the project. Any deficiency in overall parking occasioned by the anti- cipated tenant mix should be identified and appropriate mitigation suggested. As you are aware, the Chuck E. Cheese application (82 -12 -CUP) will be presented to the Planning Commission on 29 July 1982 (SEE, attached notice). It will be most helpful to the preparation of our staff report on this matter if we can receive the aforementioned material on or before 21 July 1982. As always, we appreciate your cooperation.

HIGHWAY 0 AT JANTZEN BEACH 909 N. TOMAHAWK ISLAND DRIVE Mr. Brad Collins Planning Director City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear Brad: Games • PORTLAND, OREGON 97217 Jul [JUL 271M Wg\MM 2 8 1982 �. iii- 1,_:.V,$1..14 r MN:= DEPT. Attached is a sheet showing each Center Place tenant, their size, the parking code requirement as I understand it, and then what I feel is the actual parking need for each tenant during the day and at night. Following that is the reasoning I used for each tenant to arrive at what I feel is the actual parking needed. I gave this a lot of thought, obviously it's not an exact science, but I have been involved in retail for 40 years and .I think I am close. If everyone can accept my figures then we have 64 spaces for Chuck E. Cheese during the day and 117 spaces at night when they do 70% to 80% of their business. Chuck E. Cheese has 14,890 square feet. It breaks down as follows: Dining Room 5,411 sq. ft.) Park . at one Kitchen 2,566 sq. ft. ) space per 100 sq.ft. = 112 Other 3,209 sq. ft.) 3,704 sq. ft. )Parking at one space per 400 sq.ft. = 9 Total need evening hours 121 • PHONE 283 - 4111 It looks to me that we are within 4 spaces and that seems reasonable. As we discussed, the only night we'll really load that Center is Friday. Saturday and Sunday nights most of the tenants will be closed, and since they cater to families with little kids, week nights are slower. Please keep in mind that we are all on the same side on this. I don't want a Center with a lot of unhappy tenant's any more than you want cars parked on the street. We were careful to lease to tenant's whose use was compatible to Chuck E. Cheese in parking needs and (think we accomplished that. Mr. Brad Collins July 27, 1982 Page Two of Two unfortunately, this has all come up rather late. By the end of August we'll have close to three million in that project, and we need tenants in there doing business. I'll do everything possible to cooperate with the City to get this resolved. I ask only that you move quickly on a decision, I think we deserve that. I would hope we can meet early next week with the City Attorney and whoever else needs to be involved so we can get on with the project. I'll appreciate anything you can do to expedite this. Call me if there are further questions. PVD:cel Enclosures gards, Peter Van Dyke Vice President EXPRESS MAIL 7/27/82 cc: Mr. Ken Cottingham Mr. Robert H.

CHEESE 171.00 110.00 57.00 PVD:cel 7/27/82 RECAP OF PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS AND ESTIMATED ACTUAL NEED 1 Tenant by Tenant analysis as to actual parking need broken down by daytime and nighttime needs: 1) Medical Clinic: The code requirement should cover daytime visits, nighttime activity would be primarily emergency visits which would be minimal. 4 cars at night would be ample. 2) Organs & Pianos: This is a big ticket tenant with a historically light customer load, normally run with 2 employees days and 1 at night. 2 to 3 customers at a time is average. 6 daytime spaces and 3 nighttime is reasonable. 3) Unleased Retail: No tenant here, code is OK for daytime, I reduced from 2.5 to 2 cars at night. 4) Bedspread Shop: One item retailer, average price $75.00 to $100.00. I don't antic- ipate high volume. It's a 1 employee tenant. 3 spaces days and 2 nights should be ample. 5) Hallmark - Office Supply: Self service office supplies, cards and gifts. 4 employees days, 2 at night. At least 60% of their gross will be office supplies, 80% of which will be purchased during the day. This type of use will drop off sharply at night. 14 cars days and 7 at night is a reasonable expectation. 6) Taco Time: Here I stongly disagree with the code. This is not a typical McDonald's or Wendy's with a drive through where they expect 80% of their business to be take out. Only about 20% is take out, the rest consumed on the premises. That's what is important, not whether or not they eat on china or paper. In addition, at least 70% of their business is lunch, so their impact on parking drops sharply at night. If we allot 27 spaces daytime, that's 5 employees and, figuring 2 people to a car, 44 customers. I have never seen a Taco Time with 44 customers at one time. 12 cars at night would give you 3 employees and 18 customers which is more than ample. 7) Haagen Dazs: Here'again the code is punitive. They average 2 employees. Most visits are made by families. Car count probably averages 3 people. 13 spaces days gives you 33 customers, 10 spaces at night with 1 employee gives you 27 customers. I have never seen over 15 people in a Haagen Dazs store. Another point is that a great many of their nighttime customers will come from Chuck E. Cheese which will not impact parking at all. Also, Chuck E. Cheese volume peaks in the winter months, Haagen Dazs peaks in the summer. Again, a good compatible use. • 8) One Hour Photo: Quick in and out, no long term use. 1 employee. I think 4 cars daytime, and 3 nightime will be ample. Computershop: Sophisticated, technical hardware. Very few customers, with big ticket sales. Almost no night business. 6 spaces daytime, 3 spaces at night is reasonable. 9 ) 10) Sears Business Systems Center: Same as above. Both these Tenants will be working with small bus- inesses in the design and installation of computer components. A good percentage of their work will be off the premises which will not impact parking at all. I think 6 spaces days and 3 nights will do it. 11) Maternity Shop: Low volume tenant. Sales will average $300 a day. That's 10 customers all day with 1 employee. 3 daytime and 2 nighttime is reasonable. 12) Drycleaning: Minimal use, just drop off and pick up. Will close at about 6:00 p.m. 3 spaces during the day, none at night. 13) Donut Shop: This one is a real problem. The code calls for 28 cars and in fact this tenant won't impact parking at all. 75% of their business will be done before 11:00 a.m. They start baking at 5 :00 a.m., open at 6:00 a.m. By noon they are down to 1 employee. From 5:00 p.m. on they will be lucky to have 2 customers at a time. I think 14 spaces daytime and 6 at night is more then enough.
