The regulations in this article apply to the operation of a game center, which is a place of business containing four or more amusement devices, including manually or coin or token or slug operated viewing or electronic or video game machines or other amusement devices (excluding juke boxes).
(Ord. 979 § 2 (Exh. A), 1990; Ord. 14-1380 § 6, 2014)
The intent of these regulations is to control the location and hours of operation of game centers so as not to allow school children to play the games during school hours nor to encourage minors to congregate in areas close to commercial establishments that sell alcoholic beverages.
(Ord. 979 § 2 (Exh. A), 1990)
In addition to the requirements of this article, a game center or the establishment of four or more devices as part of another use may not be established without a use permit. The permit is valid only for the number of games specified. The installation or use of additional games requires a new or amended permit.
(Ord. 979 § 2 (Exh. A), 1990)
A game center is not permitted within 500 feet of a school site or within 800 feet of a liquor store or alcoholic beverage establishment. The distance is measured in a straight line from the game center to the property line of the school site or the building line of the liquor store or alcoholic beverage establishment, as the case may be.
