§ 4.04.220. Cardrooms—Increases in number of card tables

Any licensee desiring to increase the authorized number of tables within the licensed premises may file an application with the city council requesting approval to do so.

The city council may approve such application or may disapprove such application if it determines that the granting thereof would create a police problem or public nuisance or would be incompatible with existing zoning or neighborhood land uses. In addition, the city council may disapprove or conditionally approve such an application if, in its opinion, such disapproval or conditional approval is necessary to preserve the public health, safety or welfare or to prevent the creation of police problems or public nuisances in said licensed premises or upon property in the proximity of such licensed premises.

The approval of any such application by the city council shall be subject to such other requirements which are provided by law, ordinance or resolution which govern the processing of such applications and the use of the premises in which the cardroom is located.

Each application filed pursuant to this section shall be accompanied by fees in such amounts as may be prescribed by resolution or ordinance of the city council to compensate the city for all its costs and expenses in processing such application.
