"Special event," as used in this section, means any civic, patriotic, religious, cultural, community, political or other one-time event occurring in the city on a specific date or dates.

The planning commission shall be empowered to take other criteria into account to determine the compatibility of an amusement arcade with an adjacent or surrounding use, including but not limited to the location or proximity of other amusement arcades, recreational centers, or other high intensity uses, or the extent of available parking, in making its decision to approve or deny a conditional use permit.

In its review of a conditional use permit request, the planning commission may consider and specify other conditions to deter outdoor congregation by arcade patrons, to limit the method and hours of operation in order to achieve use compatibility, and to discourage illegal or undesirable activities.
