Title

Off-Track Pari-Mutuel Wagering Permit - Bleacher's Sports Grill - District 6

 

Description

Request for an Off-Track Pari-Mutuel Wagering Permit for a business that has a Series 6 liquor license.

 

License Information

Summary

State law requires City Council approval before a State Off-Track Pari-Mutuel Wagering Permit can be issued. This request is for a permit for off-track betting on horse races conducted at Turf Paradise.

 

Applicant

David Johnson, Agent for Turf Paradise

 

Location

15410 S. Mountain Parkway, Ste. 109

Zoning Classification: C-2 PCD

Council District: 6

 

Public Opinion

Public notice was posted at the proposed location and special notice letters were mailed to residents within a 1/8 mile radius of the proposed location. The comment period expired December 11, 2025. One valid letter protesting the issuance of the permit was received and is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. The letter is from two local residents who feel that the issuance of the permit will negatively affect property value, may cause an increase in noise, drug-use, and crime in the area, and would not add value to the neighborhood.

 

Staff Recommendation

Staff gave careful consideration to the protest letter received; however, after reviewing the application in its entirety, staff is recommending approval of this application.
