The Bingo Hall as proposed by the Jaycees will meet the proposed performance standards. Since the only other Bingo Hall in Brooklyn Park that is similar to the one proposed does not have any performance standards to use as a guide, it is hard to predict if the proposed performance standards will be adequate. By requiring a Conditional Use Permit it gives the City a right to review all Bingo Halls and conditions may be placed on each Bingo Hall on a case to case basis. o Are the proposed hours of operation of Bingo Halls compatible with the current parking system? The existing parking in downtown Hopkins allows 3 hours free parking. The Jaycees will be requesting the Parking Committee to change the parking system to 4 hours free parking. Until the Bingo patronage becomes familiar with the parking system, the staff is recommending that signs are posted with the hours of free parking in the Bingo Hall.
