3307 Nationway Gaming Center Special Use

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.

What: Resolution granting special use approval for a gaming center at 3307 Nationway (CB community business zone, formerly a bar and liquor store) and local approval of a simulcasting permit from the state gaming commission.
Where it stands: Recommended for adoption on 2026-10-19.
Next: Council final consideration expected the following week.

The Board of Adjustment approved a conditional use June 18, 2026. Since the UDC changed, existing gaming parlors must get special use approval by December 31, 2027; the applicant is doing so early.
Site changes: landscape buffer on the south line next to homes, new parking layout, open space and street trees.
Distances reported: child care directly across the street; nearest school about 1,500 feet (scheduled to close in 2029); nearest park about 3,000 feet; the nearby former church is now a non-profit agency.
Hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. were said to mirror state statute.
Applicant side: Brennan Rhodes (307 Horse Racing / Wyoming Downs) said a public meeting with the mayor drew one neighbor.
Charles Miller noted the operator already holds a city liquor license elsewhere, questioned parking sized by games versus seats (124 games, 42 stalls provided) and the late closing hour next to homes.

About 10 minutes across 1 meeting (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
