OR01-2026 — Prohibition of Game Rooms (amusement redemption machines / gambling devices) in all zoning districts in Cleburne, TX
This is a citywide text amendment to the Zoning Code (Chapter 155) adding Section 155.16 and updating the Use Chart to clarify that Game Rooms—defined as any building or place with amusement redemption machines or gambling devices—are not permitted in any zoning district. It aligns the Zoning Ordinance with an existing citywide prohibition (Ordinance OR01-2026-04). Developers should note that game rooms and gambling-device uses are prohibited everywhere in the city, though machines for children or those awarding non-cash merchandise prizes (e.g., claw/crane machines) are excepted.
