1) opposing Application No 357 filed by Ultimate Paintball
Inc for a Wine and Beer Retailer s Permit at 401 West

is in City Council District 9 and is zoned J Light Industrial which allows retail
sales of wine and beer Additionally the location is greater than 300 feet from a
church public school or public hospital
Despite the fact that 401 West Lancaster appears to be properly zoned and meets the
distance regulations for the requested permit the City s Fire Police and Development
Departments as well as the Code Enforcement Division are familiar with the location
and have expressed health and safety concerns about the structure and the operations
at that location
The Fire Department reports that it has issued citations for violations of the Fire
Code at the location including locked exits and missing stairs at the back exit
The Police Department reports a history of radio calls and offenses at the location
These offenses include but are not limited to unlawful carrying of weapons several
burglaries and thefts assaults and other disturbances On April 3 1995 there was
a party at the location at which time police found illegal drugs and made arrests
The City s Code Enforcement Division reports that while Ultimate Paintball Inc is
making improvements to the building at 401 West Lancaster there are portions of the
structure which remain substandard and dangerous
The Development Department reports that currently there is no Certificate of Occupancy
for 401 Weat Lancaster and that the temporary certificate which was issued while
repairs are being made to the building expired several months ago Accordingly a
citation was issued on August 30 1995 for lack of a Certificate of Occupancy
Based on the above information it is imperative that the City Council oppose the
subject application for 401 West Lancaster and that the City Council authorize City
Councilmember Becky Harkin to represent the City in contesting the application
