Lindenhurst trustees approve special-use permit for 'Hitz the Spot' amusement arcade
Summary
The Lindenhurst Village Board adopted Ordinance 24-10-2300 to allow an amusement arcade, Hitz the Spot, at 2050 E. Grand Ave., approving proposed activities and operating hours after a Plan Commission public hearing that noted parking concerns but recommended approval.
The Lindenhurst Village Board on Oct. 14 adopted Ordinance 24-10-2300 granting a special-use permit for Hitz the Spot, an amusement arcade proposed at 2050 E. Grand Avenue. The business is described in the minutes as offering a bar, axe throwing, billiards, a splatter room and darts, with principal hours Wednesday–Thursday 4–10 p.m., Friday–Saturday noon–11 p.m. and Sunday noon–9 p.m.
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on Oct. 2 and raised concerns about potential parking impacts in the Lindenhurst Center. The minutes state commissioners concluded the unit’s location and the proposed hours would not negatively affect neighboring businesses, and the Commission recommended issuance of the special-use permit. Trustee Dawn Suchy moved to adopt the ordinance and Trustee Ron Grace seconded. A roll call vote recorded Aye — Trustees Pat Dunham, Dawn Suchy, Heath Rosten and Ron Grace; Nay 0. The motion carried.
The ordinance classifies the use under NAICS 713120 (amusement arcades, family-fun centers and game rooms) and, per the minutes, is allowed in the CB–Commercial Business district by special use. The minutes do not record any specific operating conditions or required mitigations beyond the Plan Commission discussion. The permit now allows the business to proceed with local approvals required for occupancy and licensing.
The minutes do not quote the business applicant or record community speakers objecting during the Board meeting; parking was the only Plan Commission concern noted in the record. Further administrative steps (licensing, building inspections, or conditions of operation) were not specified in the minutes.
