PZ 98-23 Public Hearing to Consider Establishing Regulations Regarding Commercial
Amusement, Indoor.
On May 14, 1998 staff brought forth a discussion item regarding the establishment of regulations for
indoor sporting arenas. At that time staff recommended that indoor sporting arenas be permitted in
the C2-Commercial District, but only with a CS-Conditional Special Use Permit. This would mean
that the special use permit requirement would only be triggered if the locaiton was within 200’ of
residentially zoned property. As a result of that meeting the Commission directed staff to review
information on how other cities currently deal with indoor sporting situations.
Staff contacted several area cities, the results are summarized below:
Carrollton:
The City of Carrollton considers sports assembly, convention center, sports arena, and other
arena type land uses as public assembly in their intensity. Each of the aforementioned uses are
regulated in the City of Carrollton’s Zoning Ordinance as follows:
• Sports Assembly: A Special Use Permit in the light commercial, heavy commercial and
commercial warehouse districts.
• Convention Center: Special Use Permit in all districts.
• Sports Arena: Special Use Permit in light commercial, heavy commercial and commercial
warehouse.
Keller:
The City of Keller permits commercial amusement indoor uses by right in the retail, town
center, and PD zoning categories. They do not require a Special Use Permit for this use; it is
allowed by right in these three districts.
Plano:
The City of Plano does not specifically address commercial amusement indoor type uses. The
use would be considered as a civic center and is therefore permitted by right in all of the
commercial and industrial districts.
The intensity of these types of uses can vary. Therefore, it is recommended that indoor sporting
events be allowed by Special Use Permit in the C1-Commercial and the C2-Commercial zoning
district. It is also recommended that these uses be permitted by right in the industrial districts.
The attached ordinance reflects the above suggestions. Staff is receptive to any comments or
suggestions the Commission may have.

Buildings in Residential Districts.
On April 27, 1998 the City Council declared a moratorium of accessory buildings that are greater than
12 feet in height. The moratorium will expire October 28, 1998. The City Council also directed staff to
