Council weighs occupancy limits, closing hours and parking for Sky Zone
Summary
Council discussed reducing operational capacity for Sky Zone, aligning closing times with neighboring Westlake, and revisiting shuttle/overflow parking; members cited social-media-driven 'teen takeover' risks and building-code limits.
Councilmembers debated setting operating hours and tying capacity to either building-code occupancy or conservatively to staffing levels. Mayor Brunello suggested matching Westlake’s earlier closing time; Mr. DeLisio proposed a 300-person cap as a manageable standard. Staff noted building-code occupancy is calculated from square footage but zoning or a CUP could impose a lower operational limit.
Ms. D’Amico emphasized the difficulty of supervising large numbers of teenagers: "Managing 200 kids is hard. Managing 400 or 500 would be extremely difficult." Members also raised concerns about parking constraints (about 80 spaces) and asked Sky Zone to clarify shuttle or overflow plans if drop-off limitations are imposed.
