The Kenner City Council unanimously approved a conditional‑use permit for an amusement center at 3501 Chateau Boulevard, Suite 102, during its Nov. 20 meeting.
Planning department staff presented case P1325 and said the applicant, Sean Foy, proposes a roughly 4,000‑square‑foot facility offering arcade and virtual‑reality attractions and party rooms. The proposal requests extended hours — until midnight on Fridays, Saturdays, holidays and during summer school break — and the planning department said the request aligns with an existing Kenner operator and raised no concerns.
"The planning department has reviewed the application and believes this is a welcome addition to the shopping center," Mister Skwinski said during the presentation. He noted the city’s code requires one parking space per 200 square feet; the proposed facility therefore requires about 20 spaces and the property has more than 100 spaces on site.
The planning commission heard the case Oct. 22 and recommended approval. Councilmember McKinney moved to approve following a public hearing; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Wilmot and passed 5‑0.
The owner of the property is recorded in the staff presentation as Chandra Callier of Parish Partners Company LLC; the applicant listed on the file is Sean Foy. Planning staff noted that final signage will require a separate minor site plan review prior to sign permit issuance.
The ordinance approved was summary ordinance number 13,969. The council closed the public hearing after no members of the public came forward to speak.
The council’s action authorizes the conditional use under the city’s unified development code; any future changes to operating hours beyond those approved would require a separate zoning action or administrative approval under the code.
