Subchapter 1. Chula Vista Gaming Plan

5.20.001 Gaming plan adopted by resolution.

In addition to the gaming, and regulatory controls that otherwise exist in relation to gaming, allowed in Chula Vista specifically by this chapter, the city council is hereby authorized to adopt by resolution after public hearing, and from time to time amend by resolution after public hearing, a gaming plan (“Chula Vista gaming plan,” or alternatively “gaming plan”), which gaming plan shall contain such provisions and regulations as the city council shall deem appropriate, including but not limited to the following:

A. Types of gaming allowed, including but not limited to card games, on-site horse and dog wagering, sports book, casino games, video gambling, etc.;

B. Hours and days of operations;

C. Location of gaming;

D. Auditing of gaming establishments;

E. Licensing fees or other charges, including charges on a percentage of gross receipts basis, in an amount the council deems appropriate;

F. Maximum number of players per table;

G. Bets and wagers permitted;

H. Charges for gaming;

I. Licensing, including number of licensees and consolidation;

J. Drinking of intoxicating beverages;

K. Maximum number of tables on premises;

L. Every aspect of operation of gaming establishments.

However, the Chula Vista gaming plan shall not allow any form or type of gaming within the city which is not allowed at least at one other location anywhere within the state of California, or federal or Native American enclave or reservation located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the state.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no gaming plan may be approved by the council without receipt and consideration by the council, at a public hearing, of the comments and recommendations of the chief of police and the city manager; and no permit or license thereunder may be issued without the concurrence of both the chief of police and the city council. The gaming plan shall have, at a minimum, a provision that requires permits to be issued to specific operators and makes it mandatory that the permit issuing authority is vested in both the chief of police and the city council jointly. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

5.20.002 All California gaming allowed subject to gaming plan.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein contained, all gaming lawfully allowed to exist at any location in the state of California, including but not limited to any federal enclave or Native American reservation contained therein, shall be, and is hereby declared to be, lawfully conducted in the city of Chula Vista and shall be and is permitted, on the condition it complies with, is consistent with, and is permitted by and under the Chula Vista gaming plan, as same may be adopted and amended by resolution from time to time. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

5.20.003 Preeminence and priority of gaming plan.

Notwithstanding anything else in this chapter to the contrary, all gaming and any operational controls thereon which may be allowed pursuant to the Chula Vista gaming plan shall be deemed to be allowed by this chapter of the municipal code, and by the enacting ordinance, without further amendment of said code or ordinance as if same were contained herein. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

5.20.004 Inconsistencies with Chula Vista gaming plan.

Any inconsistencies between the provisions of this chapter and the Chula Vista gaming plan shall be governed by the provisions of the Chula Vista gaming plan. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

5.20.005 Savings clause.

If any part of this chapter is held for any reason to be illegal, it is the intent of the council and city that each and every remaining provision hereof not held illegal shall be legal and remain in full force and effect, despite the declaration of illegality as to such part. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

5.20.006 Characterization of gaming plan.

The Chula Vista gaming plan, when and if adopted, shall not be deemed to be an ordinance of the city, but instead shall, for all intents and purposes, be deemed to be a resolution of the city. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995).

Subchapter 2. Cardrooms

5.20.010 Cardroom – Defined.

Unless otherwise expanded by the Chula Vista gaming plan, for the purpose of this chapter, a “cardroom” is defined to be any space, room or enclosure furnished or equipped with a table used or intended to be used as a card table for the playing of cards and similar games, and the use of which is available to the public. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2112 § 1, 1985; Ord. 1305 § 2, 1970; prior code § 9.101).

5.20.020 License – Required – Issuance to person under certain age prohibited.

Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, it is unlawful for any person, for himself or for any other person, firm or corporation, to engage in or carry on, or to maintain or conduct, or cause to be engaged in, carried on, maintained or conducted, any cardroom in the city without first having secured a license from said city to do so, according to each and every requirement of this chapter, or without complying with each and every regulation pertaining to such cardroom. Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, it is unlawful for any person to maintain or operate any card table in connection with any cigar store, pool or billiard hall, or any other business, or a room in which card tables are maintained in the city, without such person first having obtained from the council a license authorizing such person to maintain and operate such card table or tables or card table business. Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, no license shall be issued to any person under the age of 21 years. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995; Ord. 1305 § 2, 1970; prior code § 9.102(1)).

5.20.030 License – Number permitted and transferability.

Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, the number of licenses authorized for issuance under the provisions of this chapter shall be limited, based upon the population of the city as shown upon the population certified by the State Department of Finance. Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, the number so authorized shall be one per 40,000 residents or any fraction thereof. Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, all such licenses shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, those persons holding a license to conduct cardroom operation upon the effective date of this section may continue to hold such licenses, subject to the revocation provisions set forth in this chapter. Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, any license issued pursuant to this chapter may be transferred upon the approval of the chief of police to a person meeting all of the requirements for the initial issuance of such a cardroom license, subject to the ratification of the city council, which approval may be withheld in the sole discretion of the chief of police and which ratification may be withheld in the sole discretion of the city council, and such approval and ratification may, but is not required to, be based entirely or in part on the assessment by the chief of police or, as applicable, the city council, of the character of the proposed licensee, or when, in the opinion of the approving or ratifying entity, there appears to be good cause why such person should not operate a cardroom; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, with the exception of those licenses which have been issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance set forth in this section and CVMC 5.20.040, no license may be so transferred unless the holder thereof has been operating a cardroom for three years at a fixed location in the city. For the purposes of this section, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, it shall be deemed to be a transfer of a license requiring approval of the chief of police and ratification by the city council if a shareholder of a corporate licensee transfers any shares in the corporate licensee. Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, it shall also be deemed to be a transfer of a license requiring approval of the chief of police and ratification by the city council if a partner of a partnership licensee transfers all or any portion of his or her partnership interest. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2528 § 1, 1992; Ord. 2347 § 1, 1990; Ord. 2150 § 1, 1986; Ord. 1738 § 1, 1977; Ord. 1305 § 2, 1970; prior code § 9.102(2)).

5.20.035 Consolidation – Permitted.

Unless otherwise expanded or provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, notwithstanding the provisions of CVMC 5.20.160 regarding the maximum number of tables on premises, the city council may, in their sole discretion, grant one additional license, but no more than one (unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan), to a person having an interest in or holding a license to any cardroom in the city, but then only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this chapter or the Chula Vista gaming plan and only if the total number of licenses issued, including consolidated licenses as two separate licenses, does not exceed the maximum permitted by CVMC 5.20.030 or the gaming plan. If such application for an additional single license is granted, the maximum number of tables permitted in the consolidation of two cardrooms is 12, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan. No licensee may obtain or have issued more than two licenses, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan. Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, a person shall be deemed to have an interest in, or hold, an existing license if said person is a designated licensee, if they are presently married to an existing licensee, if they are the parent or child of an existing licensee, if they own shares in a corporation that owns a license or has a partnership interest in a license, if they own a partnership interest in a partnership that has a license or owns shares in a corporation that owns a license, or if some other relation as specified in the Chula Vista gaming plan exists.

Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, consolidation occurs whenever a cardroom licensee or a person having a financial interest in a cardroom obtains a license to operate an additional cardroom or acquires a financial interest in an additional cardroom. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2528 § 1, 1992; Ord. 2364 § 1, 1990; Ord. 2347 § 1, 1990; Ord. 2015 § 1, 1982).

5.20.040 License – Initial issuance procedure.

Unless otherwise allowed by the Chula Vista gaming plan, all licensees shall comply with the provisions of this chapter or such other provisions set forth in the Chula Vista gaming plan. Any applicants requesting a license as permitted in CVMC 5.20.030 shall pay a nonrefundable fee, as presently designated, or as may in the future be amended by resolution, in the master fee schedule, CVMC 5.20.040, or the gaming plan, to cover the cost of investigation. Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, no applicant requesting a license pursuant to this section may have any financial or other interest as set forth in CVMC 5.20.035 in any other cardroom license, or application pending therefor. Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, each application shall be totally independent and unassociated with any other application being submitted for the purpose of obtaining such a license. The initial period for issuance of new cardroom licenses shall be the month of May, 1977, and in the month of May in subsequent years should there be additional licenses available. After the termination of the open period in May, no further licenses shall be issued until the succeeding open period, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan. Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, in the event that there are applications in excess of the number of licenses available in accordance with the limitations set forth in CVMC 5.20.030, based upon population, the chief of police shall conduct a public lottery to select those applicants who shall be investigated to determine if they are qualified to be issued any available cardroom licenses as approved by the chief of police, subject to ratification of the city council.

Upon the issuance of available cardroom licenses, the chief of police shall authorize the refund of any application fee to any persons who were not subject to investigations, unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan.

Unless otherwise provided by the Chula Vista gaming plan, the city finance officer shall issue a receipt for each separate card table license as in this section required, and such receipt shall be attached to such card table and preserved thereon during the full term for which such receipt was issued. (Ord. 2655 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2408 § 1, 1990; Ord. 1305 § 2, 1970; prior code § 9.102(4)).

Applications for such work permits shall be submitted under oath and contain such information as may be deemed by the chief of police to be necessary to determine whether the applicant is a proper person to be employed in a cardroom.
