Opinion by
Judge Craig,
Active Amusement Company (Active) appeals an order of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas which affirmed the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment’s grant of a proximity variance and certificate of use to Bally’s Aladdin’s Castle, Inc. for operation of an amusement arcade in a shopping plaza owned by University City Associates, Inc.
