The Planning Commission unanimously approved Capcom Coin-Op Inc.’s move into the neighborhood at Wednesday’s meeting. The Northern California electronic game manufacturer plans to open Nickel City, a family amusement center, in a 7,200-square-foot commercial building at Beach Boulevard and Chapman Avenue.

David Schick, Capcom marketing director, told the five-member commission that Nickel City will not violate a recently passed city ordinance that bans games with lifelike violence, explicit language and sexual references, even though some of the other four Nickel City centers in the state have games such as Mortal Kombat and House of Death. Those games are banned under Stanton’s ordinance.

“In a way, I wish we had these restrictions elsewhere,” Schick said.
