SUBJECT: Request for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Sec. 28.03.023(e).

STAFF REPORT
The Planning Staff is recommending changes be made to Sec. 28.03.023(e) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Currently a Specific Use Permit request may be a submitted for Coin Operated Amusement
Devices in RCR (Residential Conservation Revitalization) and NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
Districts. By right, such devices are permitted in NSC (Neighborhood Shopping Center), GC-
MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling), CBD (Central Business District), C-M
(Commercial - Manufacturing) and LI (Light Industrial) Districts.
Recently the City adopted a separate gaming ordinance in an attempt to better regulate gaming
uses. With regard to zoning enforcement, the game rooms were considered to be in the same
category as a video game arcade. However, recent experiences with this relatively new type of
use has revealed compatibility concerns and accommodations that necessitate additional scrutiny
and review. The activity associated with the use is such that categorizing them in the same
category as a traditional video game arcade is not adequate. As such, we are recommending the
additional category of "Gaming Rooms and Devices" as a subcategory of the Amusement and
Recreations Services (79) Group.
Staff recommends that Coin Operated Amusement Devices be permitted as follows:
