That Chapter 10.70, Sections 10.70.010, 10.70.020, and 10.70.080 be amended to read as follows: Section 10.70.010 Purpose and intent - Permit required. A. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to establish procedures for permit issuance and regulation of certain businesses and activities as police regulated for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. Businesses identified in this Division X (Chapters 10.70 through 10.79) have a higher degree of potential for one or more types of illicit activity -prostitution, disorderly conduct, gambling, fraudulent practices, or the concealment or facilitation of transfers of stolen property. Therefore, regulation of the operations of these establishments is appropriate to protect legitimate business practice and the public health, safety and welfare. B. A business, activity or a performer or technician which is identified in Chapter 10.71 through 10.79 is designated a "regulated business," "regulated activity," "regulated performer" or "regulated technician," as the case may be, and the specific regulations applicable to their conduct are set out in Chapters 10.71 through 10.79. The procedures set out in this Chapter 10.70 shall uniformly govern the administration and appeals process regarding the issuance, denial, suspension or revocation of any permit required to operate as a regulated business or activity or as a regulated performer or technician pursuant to Chapters 10.71 through 10.79. C. The issuance of a permit pursuant to this Chapter 10.70 does not excuse a regulated business, activity, performer or technician from complying with any other revenue or regulatory requirement of the Municipal Code or State law. A separate permit shall be required for each type of activity regulated by Chapters 10.71 through 10.79, unless otherwise provided. The issuance of a certificate or permit under other provisions of the Municipal Code does not excuse compliance with or create a defense to any violation of the requirements of this Chapter 10.70 or 1 Chapters 10.71 through 10.79, as applicable, or any other provisions of law or ordinance, including conditional use permits required under Titlel8. D. It is unlawful for any person to operate a business or activity or perform or practice as a performer or technician regulated by this Chapter 10.70 and Chapters 10.71 through 10.79, as applicable, without a valid permit issued by the chief of police, or to operate, perform or practice while the permit is suspended or revoked. Each day a violation of this Section 10.70.010D exists constitutes a separate misdemeanor. Section 10.70.020 Definitions. For purposes of Chapters 10.70 through 10.79, the following definitions shall apply: A. "Person" means and includes a natural person, a partnership, joint venture or a corporation. B. "Applicant" or "permittee" means a natural person; and in the case of a corporation, its officers, directors and any shareholder owning more than 5% of any stock; and in the case of a partnership, its general partners. C. "Responsible person" means any person who is an owner or manager, or both, and includes any employee or agent in apparent charge of the premises for which the application is made or required or a permit is issued. D. "Permit" means a permit issued by or under the authority of the chief of police that authorizes activity regulated under Chapters 10.71 through 10.79. Section 10.70.080 Suspension and revocation. A. The chief of police shall suspend or revoke any permit issued under the provisions of this chapter if he or she finds that: 1. The operation conducted by the permittee violates any applicable laws, including but not limited to the city's building, zoning and health regulations and Chapters 10.70 through 10.79, as applicable; or 2. The permittee, including a regulated performer or technician, or any other person who is directly engaged in the management and operation of the regulated business has, while the permit is in effect: a. Allowed, committed or been convicted of an act that constitutes a violation of law which rationally and reasonably relates to the conduct of the regulated activity; or b. Allowed or committed acts listed in Section 10.70.050 A 2 to occur at a regulated business, irrespective of adjudication, conviction or acquittal; or c. Allowed a regulated performer or technician with a contagious or communicable disease to perform services under the auspices of the permittee; or 3. The permittee had knowingly made a false, misleading or fraudulent, material statement of fact in the permit application or any other document required in connection with the application. 2 B. The chief of police shall serve the permittee with a written order stating the reasons for the suspension or revocation. The order may be for a limited period, not to exceed ninety (90) days, or for permanent revocation. The order shall advise the permittee of appeal rights under Section 10.70.070. The chief of police may issue the order without regard to the status of prosecution or finality of a conviction affecting a permittee, so long as the chief of police has determined that sufficient facts exist to justify the suspension. The order shall be effective immediately if personally served, or seventy-two (72) hours after it has been deposited in the course of regular transmission in the United States Postal Service. C. Except as provided under Section 10.70.080 D, immediately upon the order becoming effective, the permittee shall cease all operations under the permit, and surrender the permit to the chief of police. D. In lieu of issuing an order of suspension or revocation, the chief of police may impose conditions of probation for a specified duration not to exceed one year, during which period the permittee shall be subject to the order of suspension or revocation if the chief determines those conditions have been violated. If the permittee accepts the order of probation, no appeal shall be allowed under Section 10.70.070. If, however, the permittee objects to the terms of probation, probation shall not be allowed, the order of suspension or revocation shall take effect, and appeal rights of the permittee under Section 10.70.070 shall then be applicable. E. Only when an appeal is taken to the city council shall the order of suspension or revocation be stayed pending determination by the city council in the manner set forth in Section 10.70.070 of this chapter. The determination of the city council will be final and conclusive and constitute the exhaustion of administrative remedies. The decision shall advise the permittee of the time limits in which to commence an action for judicial review, as set forth in Section 10.70.060. If the permittee elects judicial review in lieu of an appeal to the city council, however, then the order of the chief of police shall be deemed a final order constituting the exhaustion of administrative remedy, and the commencement of time within which to file for judicial review. F. Police permits issued for an establishment to conduct business regulated under Chapters 10.71 through 10.79 are separate from and independent of any conditional use permit that is required or issued under the provisions of Title 18 of this code. Revocation or suspension of a police permit shall not operate to revoke or suspend a conditional use permit, notwithstanding that the same or similar terms and conditions may be applicable to both permits. Revocation or suspension of a police permit affects only the authority of the establishment to provide or allow a particular form of entertainment or activity at the premises for which the police permit is issued. The establishment may continue to conduct all other business for which it is licensed or allowed by law to conduct, unless separate action is taken to abate the establishment as a public nuisance or to revoke or suspend any other issued permit, including a conditional use permit. 3 Section 2. That Title 10, Chapter 10.73, Sections 10.73.010 and 10.73.040 be amended to read as follows: Section 10.73.010 Permit required. A. An "adult oriented entertainment establishment" defined in Section 10.73.020 A is a police regulated business, and a person performing "live adult entertainment" as defined in Section 10.73.020 D in an adult oriented entertainment establishment is a police regulated performer. A police permit shall be required as a condition of operation or performance of activity of that business or activity. B. An adult oriented entertainment establishment shall not be required to obtain a separate police permit to operate as a cabaret or entertainment establishment regulated under Chapter 10.78. However, the regulatory provisions of Chapter 10.78 regulating noise control and patron conduct shall also be applicable to an adult oriented entertainment establishment as regulatory violations governing suspension or revocation of a permit issued under this Chapter 10.73. C. Issuance and administration of permits is governed by Chapter 10.70. Section 10.73.040 Patron contact - Prohibited. A. No live adult entertainer shall approach or be allowed to approach within six (6) feet of any patron of the permitted premises. B. Live adult entertainment shall be performed only upon a stage or platform during the progress of the entertainment. The stage or platform shall be located at a minimum height of eighteen inches (18") above the floor of, and at a minimum distance of six (6) feet from, the patron seating or viewing area. No patron shall occupy or be allowed to occupy the stage or platform during any performance. C. A passageway of not less than six (6) feet in width shall be provided through any part of the room occupied by customers, guests or patrons when required for the ingress and egress of live adult entertainers to the stage or platform where live adult entertainment is presented. D. No adult entertainment establishment operator shall allow a patron to approach within six (6) feet of, or touch, a live adult entertainer while any part of the performer's specified anatomical areas are exposed. E. No patron shall approach within six (6) feet of a live adult entertainer while any part of the performer's specified anatomical areas are exposed. F. Violation of any subsection of this section is a misdemeanor and shall also be grounds for the suspension or revocation of a permit issued to an operator as well as the permit of the regulated performer or live adult entertainer who causes or allows any violation to occur. 4 Section 3. That Title 10 is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter 10.78 read as follows: Chapter 10.78 ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS Sections: 10.78.010 Purpose and intent 10.78.020 Definitions 10.78.030 Entertainment permit — Required 10.78.040 Exemption from the permit requirement 10.78.050 Hours of operation 10.78.060 Disorderly patron conduct — Regulated 10.78.070 Reasonable passageway — Required 10.78.080 Observation of noise abatement and control laws — Required 10.78.090 Disorderly conduct within 100 feet of premises— Regulated 10.78.100 Orderly dispersal— Required 10.78.110 Restrictions on alcoholic beverage on premises 10.78.120 Authority of police officer where there is immediate threat to public safety 10.78.130 Conditions imposed on entertainment permits 10.78.140 Issuance and duration of permit 10.78.150 Effect of revocation or suspension of entertainment permit Section 10.78.010 Purpose and intent.

Nothing in this subsection is intended to prevent the Chief of police from imposing any condition related to the age of patrons inside an ABC establishment if the ABC license does not address that issue. The intent of this subsection is to allow the sale and service of food to minors in a bona fide public eating place (ABC license types 41, 47, and various club licensed premises) with reasonable conditions placed on the permit to prevent curfew violations and protect the minors from alcohol and other criminal activity. G. Unless otherwise stated on the permit, a permit's conditions are subject to modification (1) at the time of renewal of the permit at the request of the permittee, (2) in conjunction with a modification of the same conditions on an 10 ABC license or conditional use permit, or (3) at the time of renewal by the Chief of police based on demonstrated experience at the regulated premises. At the time of renewal, the Chief of police may order the removal or modification of any condition. Nothing in Sections 10.78.130 F or G is intended to prevent the Chief of police from modifying any condition in conjunction with regulatory action taken against the permittee pursuant to Chapter 10.70. H. Issuance, imposition, suspension or revocation of any particular condition or permit is appealable through the procedures set forth in Chapter 10.70. I. Conditions may not be imposed to suppress or regulate speech in any manner contrary to the First Amendment. Section 10.78.140 Issuance and duration of permit. A. With the exception of a permit that is issued for a single event, any public dance, cabaret, or commercial recreational assemblage permit issued on or before the effective date of this ordinance shall be valid for one year from the date it was issued, subject to the conditions or restrictions existing at the time it was issued. Renewal applications shall be submitted to the chief of police in accordance with Chapter 10.70. The chief of police may impose conditions on a renewal permit in accordance with this chapter. The chief may modify the application process to eliminate requirements that are redundant or irrelevant to a particular premises or its operation. All new permits and renewal permits shall remain valid until revoked, suspended, cancelled by the permittee, or until a change in ownership occurs. Permits shall not be assigned without the express authorization of the chief of police; unauthorized assignment shall automatically void the permit. B. The provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to all entertainment establishments currently doing business in the city. Existing establishments that are not covered under Section 10.78.140A shall make application for a permit within sixty (60) days following the effective date of this chapter. Section 10.78.150 Effect of revocation or suspension of entertainment permit. Police permits issued under this Chapter 10.78 are separate from and independent of any conditional use permit that is required or issued under the provisions of title 18 of this code. Revocation or suspension of a police permit shall not operate to revoke or suspend a conditional use permit, notwithstanding that those same or similar terms and conditions may be applicable to both. Revocation or suspension of an entertainment permit shall affect only the authority of the establishment to provide or allow entertainment or dancing at the premises for which the police permit is issued. The establishment may continue to conduct all other business for which it is licensed or allowed by law to conduct, unless separate action is taken to abate the establishment as a public nuisance or to revoke or suspend any other issued permit, including a conditional use permit. 11 Section 4.
