City Council limits arcade gaming with four month moratorium
San Marino City Council adopted a four month moratorium on arcade gaming to study impacts and draft a permanent ordinance. The measure, defining an arcade as three or more coin operated games, follows concerns about traffic, youth gatherings, and perceived nuisances at local ice cream parlors. Mayor and staff emphasized caution while noting one proposed arcade had been rejected and that the issue could lead to broader restrictions if problems persist.
