The facility will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. and will employ four workers. The paintball fields range in sizes, from the smallest field of 10,000 square feet to the largest field of 18,000 square feet. The fields will be surrounded by a mesh netting of twenty feet in height to the east between the facility and Paradise Road and a mesh netting of twelve (12) feet in height to the north between the facility and Paradise Cut Levee. Netting twenty (20) feet in height will also be provided along the southern portion of the property between the facility and the parking and registration area. A paintball is a thin-skinned gelatin capsule with a colored paint inside. Paintballs are non-toxic, biodegradable, and water soluble. The main ingredient of the paint In paintball is Cod Liver Oil (Fish Oil) or Vegetable oil and a colored dye. Each field will be setup with temporary bunkers/obstacles, made of wood inflatable bunkers, spools, ha bales, and inoperable vehicles without enginesines or transmissions. This item,which would ordinarily be processed at the staff level, is being referred to the Planning Commission because of neighborhood opposition. Parkin The applicant is proposing twenty-one (21) parking spaces and a chip seal surface material for the driveway and parking area. The Redreation-Outdoor Sports Club use type requires four parking spaces per acre and two parking spaces per 1000 square feet of building pursuant to Development Title Table 9-1015.3(b). As a result, seventy(70) parking spaces would be required. Additionally, Development Title Section 9-1015.5 states all permanent parking lots in all zoning districts shall be surfaced and permanently maintained with asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete to provide a durable dust free surface. However, Development Title Section 9-1015.9 states that requirements of the chapter may be modified by the Director in cases in which, due to the unusual nature of the establishment proposed or the development proposal submitted for it,the requirements set forth in the Development Title may be considered insufficient or excessive. The applicant submitted a letter requesting a reduction in the number of parking spaces and a chip seal alternative surfacing material. The applicant states there will be a maximum of four employees, a maximum of forty customers per day, and will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. The Community Development Department has reviewed the request and has determined that a reduction in the number of parking spaces to twenty-one (21) is sufficient for the proposed use. As a Condition of Approval,the applicant shall provide twenty-one (21) parking spaces and the surface material shall be chip seal. Access The applicant is depicting a 16-foot wide two-way driveway that is proposed for access. Development Title Section 9-1015.5(h)(1)states, "Access driveways shall have a width of no less than twenty-five (25) feet for two-way aisles and sixteen (16)feet for one-way aisles except that in no case shall driveways designated as fire department access be less than twenty(20)feet wide."The existing access does not meet the minimum standards requirement. The minimum required twenty-five feet driveway width shall be shown on the Improvement Plan. The applicant has agreed to this condition.
