4. Allied business and local ordinances in force governing such businesses as follows: 
        a. Liquor service 
        b. Food service 
        c. Game room/coin-operated rooms 
        d. Meeting, banquet, and entertainment  rooms
        f. Other sport and recreational facilities 
        g. Retail and sale of bowling/ sporting goods
5. Facilities for the handicapped.

9. Energy management.
10. Interior climate control.

Because a bowling center is a permanent building, its location on a parcel of property merits intensive study. Consider the following before buying land:

1. Zoning of land restricting commercial business or parking.
2. Nearby church or school building restricting the traffic or sale of alcoholic beverages.
3. Maximum future expansion.
4. Drainage requirements, location of sanitary and storm sewer lines and public utilities.
5. Maximum visibility of building from street, i.e., obstructing location of buildings, railroad overpasses, trees, signs, etc., in line of sight.
