Does the City of San Gabriel allow Internet Cafes?
All Internet cafes, game rooms or arcades must apply for a Conditional Use Permit before they may apply for a business license. The CUP process involves a public hearing before the Planning Commission, takes approximately 2-3 months, and costs approximately $2,000. If the CUP is granted the business owner may then apply for a business license. If the CUP is denied, the money is not refunded and the business may not open. In any event, gambling or wagering of any kind is not allowed under any circumstances. Internet cafes or game rooms may not try to skirt the CUP requirement by giving a business description of "Computer Repair Shop" or "Computer Services" if indeed Internet gaming will take place.
