4. 24-0731 Public hearing and consideration of a request by Pao Xiong for a Conditional Use Permit in the Midtown (MID-MIX) district at 8730 W. North Avenue for second hand sales and indoor recreation facility
The trading card store is a small retail space focused on second-hand sales and indoor recreation (game tournaments), as described in the staff report. Given the limited space and the need to use the available area for merchandise and customer activities, dedicating interior space to bike racks could significantly impact the store's functionality and customer experience. The store's operational model relies on maximizing available space for products and events, making the addition of interior bike racks impractical.
Moreover, the staff report mentions an existing short-term bike rack located at the front of the building. This external bike rack could fulfill the short-term bike parking requirement, reducing the necessity for additional interior bike racks. As a small business, installing interior bike racks might represent a disproportionate economic burden, including potential renovations and alterations to accommodate the racks. These changes could be financially challenging and unnecessary given the existing exterior bike rack and other available transportation options.
Staff requirements are an undo burden for an existing Wauwatosa small business.
