The Coyote Valley Band Of Pomo Indians is seeking permission to construct single-family housing units on the current site of the casino while relocating the existing gambling establishment to a new facility to be built in an open field to the south of the enterprise’s current location.

According to a report published by Ukiah Daily Journal, Michael Hunter, Tribal Council Chairman for the Coyote Valley Band Of Pomo Indians, announced that the new casino would have about the same footprint as the current venue although its compliment of 250 slots may be expanded by around 25 games with its 50-seat restaurant growing to 125 seats.

The newspaper also reported that Hunter is planning to meet with federal and state officials in Sacramento including representatives from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and that the plan may additionally see the tribe build a hotel.

“The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act expressly forbids states and their political subdivisions from imposing taxes on an Indian tribe except as necessary to defray the costs of regulating gaming activities,” read a letter from the Coyote Valley Band Of Pomo Indians sent to Mendocino County officials.
