It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to regulate computer gaming and internet access businesses to promote the protection of the public from the dangers of fire and hazards to health, to ensure the full protection of minors, and for the general preservation of the peace and welfare of the community. It is the intent of the city to establish minimally intrusive protocols to provide reasonable accountability for computer gaming and internet access and use at computer gaming and internet access businesses.
