4. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3016-2019
An Ordinance amending Chapter 5, “AMUSEMENTS,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Article I, “VIDEO GAMING,” by repealing said article in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Article I relating to the same subject matter; and Chapter 3, “ADVERTISING AND SIGNS,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Table 3-2105.1 of Section 3-2105, by adding video gaming exception provisions to the table’s footnotes for temporary signs (f) and banners (g).
Explanation: The City adopted Council Bill/General Ordinance No. 3051-2018 in December 2018 to establish restrictions for advertising by and for all establishments that possess a City of Moline Class K Video Gaming Establishment liquor license. The intent of the ordinance was to help counter the negative effects of gambling by limiting the advertising of such establishments and thereby lessen enticement to the establishments while still allowing them the opportunity to continue their businesses. This proposed ordinance will further restrict the type of video gaming advertising/signage allowed and impose the restrictions to all Licensed Establishments, as defined in Chapter 5, that are eligible for video gaming; specifically, those that possess a valid City of Moline Class A, AA, B, D or K liquor license, and that meet the remaining requirements of Chapter 5, Article I. (The referenced liquor license classes are: A and AA – Restaurant, B – Tavern, D – Clubs/Fraternal or Veterans Organization, and K – Video Gaming Establishment.)
The video gaming advertising restrictions are as written in Sec. 5-1105 of the proposed redline ordinance attached; they include restrictions on off-premises advertising, temporary signs, freestanding banners, building banners and window signs. Additional changes to Article I have been made for clarification and consistency of definitions and terms, and exception provisions have been added to the footnotes of Table 3-2105.1 of the Advertising and Signs Code to correspond with the proposed changes to Article I.
