Planning Commission to hear request for virtual reality arcade in downtown Carson City – Carson Now

Systems Edge LLC has requested a Special Use Permit (SUP) from the Carson City Planning Commission to establish a Virtual Reality Arcade at 1087 S. Carson Street.

The location, which is inside the office park in front of Reds Old 395 Grill, is zoned Downtown Mixed-Use, of which an amusement arcade is a conditional use.

The Planning Commission will decide today, Wednesday, on whether or not to provide the SUP, which staff is recommending. The meeting is at 5 p.m. in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center, 851 East William Street.

The applicant is proposing to create a virtual reality arcade with 8 stations and a gathering area for waiting customers. The stations are contained within cubicles, along with a dedicated area on the second floor containing couches and coffee tables, used for socializing and studying.

The business is aimed toward teens and young adults, according to the project description, and will also be selling pre-packaged drinks and snacks.

The proposed arcade will be inside of an existing suite within the office park.

Prior to the meeting, public notices were mailed to 75 property owners within 600 feet of the subject site on Aug. 17, and no written comments have been returned since that time, according to staff.
