Neighbors back Roosevelt Avenue event center but urge council to drop bingo use; consent agenda passes
City Council approved the consent agenda, which included a zoning case for redevelopment of the former bowling alley at 3371 Roosevelt Ave. Residents and neighborhood leaders generally supported repurposing the aging building as an event center but urged the council and the developer to remove bingo or gaming from the proposed uses.

Speakers representing Mission San Jose and neighborhood organizations said an event center could support heritage-based revitalization if it limits outdoor noise, operating hours and parking impacts; several speakers explicitly opposed bingo or gaming operations being included in the permitted uses. The applicant, Peter Garcia, told council his operation has run venues for 40 years and would exceed parking requirements and install landscaping. After public comment, the consent agenda motion passed and item 14 was approved as part of that consent vote.
