County gaming subcommittee proposes casino ordinance; plan commission given draft for review
Summary
Angola City staff reported a county gaming subcommittee drafted a casino ordinance that requires state licensing, a minimum 250-room hotel, a 30-acre minimum lot and setbacks up to 750 feet from residential districts. The county will review the ordinance next; the commission received the draft for reference.
Staff relayed a county report that the county gaming subcommittee had drafted a proposed casino ordinance and forwarded it to county commissioners for review. The draft ordinance listed several requirements including state licensing, a hotel of at least 250 rooms, minimum lot area of 30 acres, front/side/rear yard setbacks of 300 feet and a 750-foot buffer from adjacent residential districts in existence at the time of development.
A commissioner asked whether the draft implicitly targeted the old Lake James Golf Course site; staff said the ordinance text did not specify a location and that rumors about specific sites had not been confirmed. The commission was given the draft via OneDrive for review; the matter will be considered separately by county authorities and returned to the commission only as needed.
