No business establishment of any kind in the City of West Hollywood
which requires proof of age for admittance or for service shall enforce
such requirement except as hereafter provided:
a. No business
establishment shall require any person to produce more than one unexpired
document issued by a federal, state, county, or municipal government
or by any subdivision or agency thereof, or a valid passport of any
nation, which has affixed to it the name, date of birth, and photograph
of the person to whom it was issued.
b. If a person presents a document other than that listed in subsection
(a), the business establishment may, at its discretion, require the person to produce additional documents; provided, however, that the establishment shall not deny admission or service on this basis except upon its good faith judgment that the document or documents presented are not trustworthy.
(Prior code § 4500; Ord. 85-21, 1985; Ord. 85-23, 1985)

No business establishment of any type in the city which conditions
entry or service upon standards of appearance or dress shall enforce
any such rule or condition when the purpose or effect of such enforcement
is to arbitrarily discriminate against any person or any class or
category of persons. Violations of this chapter shall include, but
are not limited to, a rule or condition that the patron not wear open-toed
shoes or be required to wear clothes customarily associated with his

(Prior code § 4503; Ord. 85-21, 1985; Ord. 85-23, 1985)
Every business establishment (as defined in Section
5.04.040 of this code) shall make its restrooms available upon request to any disabled person, regardless of whether the person is a customer or client of the establishment and whether or not its restrooms are ordinarily made available to the public. Restrooms designated only for employees need not be made available if accessible public restrooms are available to the disabled pursuant to this section. For purposes of this section, a "disabled" person is any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities, and who identifies him or herself as disabled when requesting use of restroom facilities.
