ZTA 2024-4 (Electronic gaming operations) — Approved.

Planning staff had surveyed 34 jurisdictions and recommended 200 as a median standard; public testimony and commissioner discussion led to the 300-square-foot adoption. The board directed staff and the tax office to clarify tax/ownership and enforcement questions.
