Planning board conditionally approves Revo Casino move to Key Road Plaza
Summary
The board granted conditional site-plan approval to convert part of Key Road Plaza into a 15,000-square-foot charitable gaming facility for Revo Casino and Social House, requiring landscaping financial security and final plan copies before signatures.
The Keene Planning, Licenses and Development Committee granted conditional approval for PB-2025-18 to allow Revo Casino and Social House to occupy approximately 15,000 square feet of an existing retail building at Key Road Plaza (109–147 Key Road). The vote was unanimous.
Applicant Anagnost Companies (manager/owner: Anagnost) presented the plan to convert retail space—about 15,000 square feet of a 61,526-square-foot building—into a charitable gaming facility with an approximately 10,000-square-foot gaming floor, roughly 180 gaming stations, a 75-seat restaurant and support space. The applicant said the proposed facility will be a 21-and-older venue, operate with on-site security, and remain accessible from the existing main parking and Key Road access points.
Planning staff recommended the application be accepted as complete. The board heard that the project received a prior zoning variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment that allowed the proposed use despite the property being within 250 feet of a residential property. Staff and the applicant described no exterior pavement expansion, only re-striping of parking to add about 45 spaces, replacement/upgrades to light fixtures to meet dark-sky standards, and installation of a 190-foot solid vinyl fence and additional plantings along the rear of the building to screen the loading area from adjacent residential uses.
The planning board moved to grant conditional approval with the following conditions precedent: (A) owner’s signature on the plan, (B) submittal of a financial security for required landscaping acceptable to the city engineer, and (C) submittal of five full-size paper copies and one digital copy of the final plan. The board also required the customary final plan filing prior to signatures. Staff said traffic analysis showed the net increase in peak-hour trips would be 13—below the state and professional thresholds for significant impact—and that submitted photometrics were revised to meet uniformity standards. The motions passed unanimously.
