Repeal of Regulatory Code Provisions Related to Amusement Devices and Establishments
VOTES: 5-0 (PASS)
A small business owner contacted Supervisor Anderson’s office
when he realized that San Diego City and San Diego County amusement
device ordinances differed in their restrictions, limiting the ability
of small businesses in unincorporated County areas to operate in the
same manner as small businesses in the City. To correct this,
Supervisor Anderson and Vice Chair Vargas introduced a board letter
that advocated for repealing the outdated County regulatory code
provisions relating to amusement devices, like arcade games. This
repeal will now allow all small businesses to expand their customer
base and workforce, reduce an unnecessary regulatory burden, and grant
the same business opportunities to unincorporated areas that are
available to those in incorporated areas.
