5.28.010 - Purpose.

The operation of poolrooms as defined in this chapter, presents an environment with the demonstrated potential for excessive noise generation and disorderly conduct by patrons, with the attendant adverse public safety impact on the surrounding business and residential community, including depreciation in property values, interference with residential neighbors' enjoyment and use of their property due to debris, noise and vandalism, higher crime rates in the vicinity of poolroom businesses involving gang, prostitution and drug activity. Therefore, it is the purpose of this chapter that the operation of poolroom businesses be regulated as a matter of public safety through the issuance of a police permit by the Chief of Police.
