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.
5.20.002 All California Gaming Allowed Subject to Gaming Plan
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein contained, all gaming lawfully

Subchapter 2o 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. lord 2112 §1, 1985; Ord 1305 §2
(part), 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 so to do, 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 billlard 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 twenty-one years. lord. 1305 §2 (part), 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 forty thousand 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
Ordinance 2655
Page 5
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 Section 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 ap-
proval 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. 2528 §1 (part),
1992; Ord. 2347 §1, 1990; Ord. 2150 §1 (part), 1986; Ord. 1738 §1 (part), 1977; Ord.
1305 §2 (part), 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 Section 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 Section 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 twelve (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.

there are applications in excess of the number of licenses available in accordance with the
limitations set forth in Section 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
