Amendment: Game Rooms and Gaming; An ordinance amending the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Fort Worth, being Ordinance No. 13896, as Amended,
Codified as Appendix "A" of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, by Amending:
Article 3 'Planned Development ("PD") District" to add game rooms in Section
4.305;Section 4.800 "Nonresidential District Use Table" and 4.1200 "Form Based
Districts Use Table" to add game rooms by Planned Development District: and
Chapter 9, "Definitions", Section 9.101, "Defined Terms" (Recommended for
Approval by the Zoning Commission for the August 8 Draft of Ordinance)
Ms. Melinda Ramos, Senior Assistant City Attorney Section Chief, Law Department, appeared
before Council and advised that according to Texas Penal Code Chapter 47, Section 47.01(4)(b),
gaming machines could only be used for entertainment purposes and award players with noncash
merchandise prizes, toys, or novelties, or a representation of value redeemable for those items,
that have a wholesale value available from a single play of the game or device of not more than
10 times the amount charged to play the game or device once or $5.00, whichever was less. She
stated that the City had been regulating these businesses under the category of indoor
amusements and that there were currently game rooms and gaming machines throughout the
City. She added that the Law Department met with Planning and Development to make a
determination regarding the land use for indoor amusements and the planned development
process. She further stated that the Texas Occupational Code also allowed municipalities to
regulate zoning with a distance setback of 300 feet between schools, churches and hospitals, and
define where the gaming machines would be located.
Ms. Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Director, Planning and Development Department, appeared before
Council and advised that game rooms were currently listed in the indoor amusement category
and allowable in all commercial and industrial zoning districts with the exception of "ER"
Neighborhood Commercial Restricted districts. She stated that the gaming machines could be
found in any commercial or industrial business as an accessory use to the primary use of the
property, such as a gas station or a convenience store, and that indoor amusement was not listed
in the permit because gaming was not the primary use of the business. She added "PD" Planned
Development zoning districts would classify businesses with three or more gaming machines as
a gaming center regardless of the primary use of the business. She advised that the distance
setbacks would be the same as those used for alcohol sales and stated that gaming centers would
not be allowed within 300 feet of one- or two-family residential districts, as well as from a
church, school or hospital, unless Council approved a variance from the setback. She further
added that the facility would be clearly labeled, the windows would be transparent so that Police
and Code Compliance could observe activities inside, and large gaming centers would be limited
to 2,000 square feet in size. She pointed out that an ordinance would differentiate from state law
as to the meaning of amusement redemption machines from other kinds of amusement games
found in an arcade. She clarified that the ordinance would not interfere with Police enforcement
of the laws, but there would be an effect on Code Compliance in order to determine where the
sites were located and conducting inspections, and that the applicant then have 30 days to initiate
the zoning change to "PD" Planned Development.

Page 22 of 34
Mr. Brandon Bennett, Director, Code Compliance Department, appeared before Council and
explained that although gambling was still illegal, an ordinance would allow for inspections and
code enforcement of the gaming centers. He added that Code Compliance would be able to
assist with zoning inspections, serve warrants, check certificates of occupancy and permits, as
well as food, health, sanitation and general violations. He stated that a land use designation, such
as "PD" Planned Development, would help Code Compliance enforce rules for the gaming
centers. He stated that the current four officers would need to be reclassified as Senior
Enforcement Officers and an additional two officers would need to be hired to free up code
officer time in the neighborhoods. He further added that the Senior Officers would also be
specifically trained in gambling enforcement. He pointed out that a complementary ordinance
would need to be established that included a fee structure so taxpayers would not be burdened
with the cost of new officers.
Captain Charles Ramirez, Chief of Staff, Police Department, appeared before Council and stated
that the zoning ordinance would not change police enforcement. He added that the ordinance
would make the businesses easier to track and identify them more quickly. He explained the
process of following up on a citizen complaint and issuance of a warrant when necessary. He
pointed out that if arrests were made, the cases would still go through the criminal justice process
with the District Attorney's Office.
