Subject: Comments on proposed Ordinance re: Adult Arcade Amusement Centers
I believe certain wording in the Ordinance regarding the description of Adult Arcade
Amusement Centers is ambiguous, and inconsistent. and should be clarified to eliminate
any misunderstanding as to specifically what the Ordinance is directed at.
As a start, I would propose the following changes:
1) In the basic Ordinance, change the wording as follows
----------to provide for Adult Arcade Amusement Centers -add--as defined herein
--delete-{and similar entertainment enterprises and businesses)----- as a pernutted special
' Reason: deleted words are ambiguous.
exception--------------------------
2) In the first "Whereas" paragraph, change the wording as follows
"WHEREAS 1�IE Village Council of the Village of Tequesta has determined that game
rooms and/or enterprises-add--- commonly known as Adult Arcade Amusement Centers
at which coin �erated, electronic, mechanical, computer, video, or other similar �ames
of amusement, chance or skill are �laved whether for consideration or not -------require
locational standards and use regulations to protect the public health, safety, morals
general welfare and"----------------Reason: provides definition of Adult Arcade
.Amusement Center
3) In the amended paragraph of SECTION l, change the wording to read as follows
Adult Arcade .Amusement Centers----add--------- are �ame rooms and/or enterprises
---------delete----( or other similar entertainment enterprises or businesses)-----at which
electronic, mechanical, computer, video, or other similar games of amusement chance or
skill are played, whether for consideration or not. -------Reason: clarity and consistency
