APPROVED: An ordinance to amend the city’s zoning for indoor amusement/entertainment facilities
City Council approved on first reading an ordinance to amend the city’s zoning code to add a definition for indoor amusement/entertainment facilities and allow it as a use by-right in C-1, Central Business District; C-3, Highway Commercial and S-1, Services Districts.
The amendment was proposed following the Planning Commission’s July 19 public hearing, during which commissioners asked questions regarding where shooting ranges are located within the city.

The category would include:
- Bowling alleys
- Coin-operated amusement arcades
- Dance halls and ballrooms
- Electronic games arcades
- Ice skating and roller skating
