effective date of January 1, 2023, an "Amusement, Game Room" is prohibited in a
Commercial Retail District without the approval of a specific use permit.

Ordinance, the City Council, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected
and after recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Commission, may authorize

such development standards and safeguards as the conditions and locations indicate
important to the welfare and protection of adjacent property from noise, vibration, dust,
dirt, smoked, fumes, gas odor, explosion, glare, offensive view, or other undesirable or
hazardous conditions.
Notification of the hearing date and time will be published in the city's official newspaper
and mailed to adjacent property owners within a 200-foot radius a minimum of 15 days
