The City of Carlsbad encourages the development of arts and culture and recognizes that having many entertainment establishments provides a means for such activity. The City of Carlsbad further recognizes that having a variety of entertainment types in the city promotes a rich and diverse cultural experience.
The City of Carlsbad also recognizes that entertainment establishments serving alcohol have demonstrated the potential for creating an environment where various types of disturbances, excessive noise, and disorderly conduct by inebriated patrons may occur. These negative effects are adverse to the public safety and the quality of life in the community.
The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the operation of entertainment establishments so as to minimize the negative effects and to preserve the public safety, health and welfare. It is not the city's intent to regulate or restrict the type or content of entertainment provided in those establishments. All licensees will be responsible for controlling patron conduct at their entertainment establishment, making adequate provisions for security and crowd control, compliance with state and local laws and minimizing disturbances caused by the operation of an entertainment establishment.
It is also the intent of the City of Carlsbad to provide alternatives to the regulating of entertainment establishments by imposing license conditions tailored to the particular entertainment establishment.
