STAFF REPORT
AN ORDINANCE OF '1'HE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDING CHAPTERS 15.36, 18.04
AND 18.69 OF THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO THE DEFINITIONS OF PEEPSHOW ESTABLISHMENTS,
CABARETS AND ADULT ORIENTED BUSINESSES
This proposed ordinance will amend, clarify and further tighten up definitions pertaining to
adult oriented businesses in Title 15, Chapter 15.36 and Title 18, Chapter 18.69, as they may
affect National City. At present, there are no adult oriented businesses operating in National
City. This proposed ordinance "fine-tunes" the existing provisions of law, and adds some new
definitions to cover the latest generation of adult oriented businesses that are being proposed
for operation in other jurisdictions.
The ordinance does the following:
• Tightens up definitions on "peep shows" and clarifies structural requirements for the
establishment within Chapter 15.36;
• Substitutes "adult oriented businesses" for the term "adult entertainment business";
• Adds definitions and regulations covering "lingerie modeling establishments";
• Defines the term "consideration" as it may apply within the context and practice of adult
oriented businesses;
• Adds a requirement that the exterior windows of adult oriented businesses be opaquely
covered;
• Adds a constitutional severability clause to Chapter 18.69.
National City's Adult Entertainment Ordinance (NCMC Chapter 18.69)
The U.S. and California Constitutions generally require that at least some portion of land in a
city remain available for business activities protected by the First Amendment. Federal and
state courts have interpreted "free speech" to include some activities commonly described as
"adult entertainment," because of the "expressive" nature of such activities. National City's
adult oriented business land use regulations (NCMC Chapter 18.69) have been narrowly
tailored to provide for proper regulation of such business for "important or substantial"
governmental interests.
Any business that proposes the display of the human body in a nude or "semi-nude" state
potentially falls under these adult oriented business regulations. The regulations place certain
"time, place, and manner" restrictions on such businesses, protecting the public interest in
health, safety and welfare. Chief among them is the provision that any adult oriented business
be located in areas that are separated from schools, churches, residential areas and parks by
distances ranging from 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet. However, exempt from this distance
separation would be a location within an enclosed mall, or a mall screened from view.
1 Staff Report
Adult Oriented Businesses
In addition to land use regulations, the Municipal Code also regulates the operations of several
types of adult oriented businesses. These additional regulations are selective, and pertain only
to adult cabarets, massage establishments, and escort services. Thus, the only regulation
affecting other adult oriented businesses such as adult bookstores, adult motion picture
theaters, and adult hotels is the land use requirement separating such businesses from sensitive
uses. -
The City's ordinances do not currently contain a definition or regulation of lingerie modeling,
or nude lingerie modeling in conjunction with retail sales of clothing. It is proposed therefore
to add such definitions in advance of any entry into National City. However, to interpret the
possible effects of such a business on the public health, safety, and welfare, the City may rely
on its own experience with other adult oriented businesses, and on the experience of other
cities with adult oriented businesses, and with lingerie modeling studios specifically.
If a state of nudity or semi -nudity is involved in a proposed business, the effect on public
health, safety, and welfare is easily documented. For example, over 25 years ago the U.S.
Supreme Court described the harmful effects associated with nude dancing in a case called
California v. La Rue (1972). Relying on the trial court's transcript, Justice William Rehnquist
explained that "prostitution occurred in and around such premises, and involved some of the
female dancers." Other negative effects included "indecent exposure to young girls, attempted
rape, rape, and assaults on police officers." Customers of the establishment engaged in sexual
acts and simulated sexual acts, and numerous other forms of contact with employees.
Similarly, in Renton v. Playtime Theatres (1986), the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the
City of Renton's ordinance properly targeted such "negative secondary effects," and that the
effect that nude dancing establishments had in increasing various types of crime justified severe
regulation of such establishments.
In Barnes v. Glen Theatres (1991), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Indiana anti -nudity
statute that was used to prohibit nude dancing. The court described numerous negative
secondary effects of adult oriented businesses in its opinion, including prostitution, increased
sexual assaults, and other criminal activity.
Over the past 20 years, studies performed in various cities throughout the nation yielded
statistical evidence that adult nude entertainment establishments increase reported incidents of
prostitution, rape, commercial exploitation of sex acts, face-to-face street robberies, illegal
gambling, drug use and drug dealing, neighborhood blighting, and decreased property values.
According to the Court's opinion in Renton, cities are entitled to rely on the experiences of
other cities in enacting adult oriented business ordinances. The First Amendment does not
require a city to conduct new studies or to produce independent evidence of secondary effects.
The names (and dates) of cities which have undertaken studies on the secondary effects of adult
businesses include: Garden Grove, California (1991); Whittier, California (1978);
Indianapolis, Indiana (1984); Minneapolis, Minnesota (1980); Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(1986); and Seattle, Washington (1989). In the last five years Atlanta, Georgia conducted
2 Staff Report
Adult Oriented Businesses
studies which dealt specifically with "lingerie modeling studios." Similar statistical increases
in crime and violent crime resulted from the establishment of such lingerie modeling businesses
in Atlanta.
Following the Atlanta studies, numerous cities have incorporated the term "lingerie modeling"
into their existing adult oriented businesses. Among these are the cities of San Buenaventura,
California; Mission Viejo, California; Costa Mesa, California; and Atlanta, Georgia.
Therefore, the proposed business of "lingerie modeling" is likely to include nude modeling,
and will possibly include strip teases in a one-on-one setting between employee and customer.
Based on the experience of the other cities described above, and our own experiences, nude
modeling, lingerie modeling, and strip tease is likely to have significant negative secondary
effects on the public health, safety and welfare. The City may therefore adopt appropriate land
use regulations, as proposed in the attached ordinance.
It is therefore recommended that the Council approve the proposed ordinance which adds
businesses described as lingerie modeling and similar other activities in conjunction with "adult
oriented" activity to Title 18, and adopt the clarifications and additional restrictions proposed
for peep shows in Chapter 15.36.

have a significant environmental effect, since the amendment will clarify the Code procedures already
in practice. Furthermore, CEQA provides that economic and social changes resulting from a project
shall not be treated as significant effects of the environment. The amendment addresses regulations
that affect only social aspects associated with the development that may occur. It will not generally

NEW DIESEL LOW FLOOR BUSES.
PREPARED BY Alfredo Rios, Jr.
EXPLANATION.
This resolution will authorize the General Managers of MTDB and
National City Transit for the purchase of 16 new diesel low floor buses
for National City Transit (NCT). These options have been included in
the joint bus procurement contract (MTDB DOC# B0096.0-95) with New
Flyer of America. A maximum of 50% local share will be required from
NCT or about $2.3 million in local money with the availability of
Federal Funding. This will result in a substantial cost saving. NCT
is expected to initially provide $400,000 in Transportation Development
Act (TDA) funds from bus capital reserve or unallocated TDA funds for
Fiscal Year 2000. There would also be an annuall contribution to pay
the balance that would roughly be from $150,000 increasing to perhaps
$190,000 over a 12 year period beginning in Fiscal Year 2001.

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDING CHAPTERS 15.36, 18.04
AND 18.69 OF THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO THE DEFINITIONS OF PEEP SHOW ESTABLISHMENTS,
CABARETS AND ADULT ORIENTED BUSINESSES
This proposed ordinance will amend, clarify and further tighten up definitions pertaining to
adult oriented businesses in Title 15, Chapter 15.36 and Title 18, Chapter 18.69, as they may
affect National City. At present, there are no adult oriented businesses operating in National
City. This proposed ordinance "fine-tunes" the existing provisions of law, and adds some new
definitions to cover the latest generation of adult oriented businesses that are being proposed
for operation in other jurisdictions.
The ordinance does the following:
• Tightens up definitions on "peep shows" and clarifies structural requirements for the
establishment within Chapter 15.36;
• Substitutes "adult oriented businesses" for the term "adult entertainment business";
• Adds definitions and regulations covering "lingerie modeling establishments";
• Defines the term "consideration" as it may apply within the context and practice of adult
oriented businesses;
• Adds a requirement that the exterior windows of adult oriented businesses be opaquely
covered;
• Adds a constitutional severability clause to Chapter 18.69.
National City's Adult Entertainment Ordinance (NCMC Chapter 18.69)
The U.S. and California Constitutions generally require that at least some portion of land in a
city remain available for business activities protected by the First Amendment. Federal and
state courts have interpreted "free speech" to include some activities commonly described as
"adult entertainment," because of the "expressive" nature of such activities. National City's
adult oriented business land use regulations (NCMC Chapter 18.69) have been narrowly
tailored to provide for proper regulation of such business for "important or substantial"
governmental interests.
Any business that proposes the display of the human body in a nude or "semi-nude" state
potentially falls under these adult oriented business regulations. The regulations place certain
"time, place, and manner" restrictions on such businesses, protecting the public interest in
health, safety and welfare. Chief among them is the provision that any adult oriented business
be located in areas that are separated from schools, churches, residential areas and parks by
distances ranging from 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet. However, exempt from this distance
separation would be a location within an enclosed mall, or a mall screened from view.
1 Staff Report
Adult Oriented Businesses
In addition to land use regulations, the Municipal Code also regulates the operations of several
types of adult oriented businesses. These additional regulations are selective, and pertain only
to adult cabarets, massage establishments, and escort services. Thus, the only regulation
affecting other adult oriented businesses such as adult bookstores, adult motion picture
theaters, and adult hotels is the land use requirement separating such businesses from sensitive
uses.
The City's ordinances do not currently contain a definition or regulation of lingerie modeling,
or nude lingerie modeling in conjunction with retail sales of clothing. It is proposed therefore
to add such definitions in advance of any entry into National City. However, to interpret the
possible effects of such a business on the public health, safety, and welfare, the City may rely
on its own experience with other adult oriented businesses, and on the experience of other
cities with adult oriented businesses, and with lingerie modeling studios specifically.
If a state of nudity or semi -nudity is involved in a proposed business, the effect on public
health, safety, and welfare is easily documented. For example, over 25 years ago the U.S.
Supreme Court described the harmful effects associated with nude dancing in a case called
California v. La Rue (1972). Relying on the trial court's transcript, Justice William Rehnquist
explained that "prostitution occurred in and around such premises, and involved some of the
female dancers." Other negative effects included "indecent exposure to young girls, attempted
rape, rape, and assaults on police officers." Customers of the establishment engaged in sexual
acts and simulated sexual acts, and numerous other forms of contact with employees.
Similarly, in Renton v. Playtime Theatres (1986), the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the
City of Renton's ordinance properly targeted such "negative secondary effects," and that the
effect that nude dancing establishments had in increasing various types of crime justified severe
regulation of such establishments.
In Barnes v. Glen Theatres (1991), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Indiana anti -nudity
statute that was used to prohibit nude dancing. The court described numerous negative
secondary effects of adult oriented businesses in its opinion, including prostitution, increased
sexual assaults, and other criminal activity.
Over the past 20 years, studies performed in various cities throughout the nation yielded
statistical evidence that adult nude entertainment establishments increase reported incidents of
prostitution, rape, commercial exploitation of sex acts, face-to-face street robberies, illegal
gambling, drug use and drug dealing, neighborhood blighting, and decreased property values.
According to the Court's opinion in Renton, cities are entitled to rely on the experiences of
other cities in enacting adult oriented business ordinances. The First Amendment does not
require a city to conduct new studies or to produce independent evidence of secondary effects.
The names (and dates) of cities which have undertaken studies on the secondary effects of adult
businesses include: Garden Grove, California (1991); Whittier, California (1978);
Indianapolis, Indiana (1984); Minneapolis, Minnesota (1980); Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(1986); and Seattle, Washington (1989). In the last five years Atlanta, Georgia conducted
2 Staff Report
Adult Oriented Businesses
studies which dealt specifically with "lingerie modeling studios." Similar statistical increases
in crime and violent crime resulted from the establishment of such lingerie modeling businesses
in Atlanta.
Following the Atlanta studies, numerous cities have incorporated the term "lingerie modeling"
into their existing adult oriented businesses. Among these are the cities of San Buenaventura,
California; Mission Viejo, California; Costa Mesa, California; and Atlanta, Georgia.
Therefore, the proposed business of "lingerie modeling" is likely to include nude modeling,
and will possibly include strip teases in a one-on-one setting between employee and customer.
Based on the experience of the other cities described above, and our own experiences, nude
modeling, lingerie modeling, and strip tease is likely to have significant negative secondary
effects on the public health, safety and welfare. The City may therefore adopt appropriate land
use regulations, as proposed in the attached ordinance.
It is therefore recommended that the Council approve the proposed ordinance which adds
businesses described as lingerie modeling and similar other activities in conjunction with "adult
oriented" activity to Title 18, and adopt the clarifications and additional restrictions proposed
for peep shows in Chapter 15.36.
