Staff Analysis: On January 30, 1996, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow for development of an outdoor family amusement park on this I-2 zoned Property. The development was to have been built in three phases. Phase I included two go-cart tracks, an arcade building and the north parking lot. Phase II included a bumper boat pond, a baseball batting cage, maintenance building and the remaining southern part of the parking lot along the east property line. Phase III included a miniature golf course which will be planned at a later date and be submitted to the Planning Commission at that time. Portions of Phase I have been constructed, including the go-cart track closest to Baseline Road. The applicant is requesting a revision to the previously approved conditional use permit to allow for construction of a third go-cart track called a "slick track" to be located in the center of the development. Other minor changes are to reduce the previously approved second go cart track to a smaller "rookie track", to relocate the bumper boat pond to the western side of the development (adjacent to the interstate) FA February 5, 1998 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 22 (Cont.)
