According to planning department notes on the project, "a variety of other uses" are also proposed by Netherworld, including "film industry uses and private events such as escape games, weddings and corporate events."

"The applicant proposes other outdoor uses such as seasonal-related events such as a pumpkin patch," documents said.

A business owner in the area near the site was the only person to speak in opposition of the project during Wednesday's meeting, saying he was worried about possible traffic and parking problems.

Netherworld's site plan suggests there would be four access points to the property, three on West Park Place Boulevard and another on West Park Court. An expansion of existing parking options is also proposed and attorney Shane Lanham, who is representing the haunted house, said there have also been talks with a nearby storage facility about implementing their parking lot.

"We’re very excited about this site and we’ve got a lot of room to grow here," Lanham said.
