A. 
Purpose. The City Council, in enacting this Section, has considered the appeals of the great majority of Lakewood residents that the City Council prohibit nudity in public places. The City Council, after reviewing this matter, finds that the appearance of people in the nude in a public place or in a place open to, or visible by, the public is inimical to public order, decency and morality. The prohibition of nudity has been analyzed and regulations of other jurisdictions considered. In Barnes v. Glen Theater, Inc., (1991) 115 L.Ed.2d 504, the United States Supreme Court held that nude dancing and entertainment is expressive conduct within the outer parameters of the First Amendment, and inasmuch as such expression was within the outer parameters of the First Amendment, an Indiana Statute prohibiting nudity in public places to protect morals and the public order furthered a substantial governmental interest, and its effect on the First Amendment was only an incidental limitation. The Court held that as long as the Statute was narrowly drawn and was not intended to regulate erotic dancing protected under the First Amendment but rather public nudity, the same was a valid police power regulation. As used in this Section, "Open to the Public" has reference to the decision of the California Court of Appeals in Demott v. Board of Public Commissioners, 1981, 122 Cal.App.3d 296, 175 Cal. Rptr. 879.
B. 
Public Nudity: Prohibited. It is unlawful for any person within the City of Lakewood, while in any public park, playground, public right-of-way, or in any other public place or public accommodation, or in any place open to the public or obviously open to public view (with or without payment of an admission fee) to knowingly and intentionally:
1. 
Expose his or her genitals, pubic hair, natal cleft, perineum, anal region or pubic hair regions; or
2. 
Use any device, costume or covering which gives the appearance or simulates the genitals, pubic hair, natal cleft, perineum, anal region or pubic hair region; or
3. 
Expose the nipples and/or areolae of the female breasts except as necessary while breastfeeding an infant under two (2) years of age; or
4. 
Use any device (commonly known as a pasty or pasties) worn as a cover over the nipples and/or areolae of the female breasts, which device simulates and gives the realistic appearance of nipples and/or areolae.
C. 
Exemptions. The prohibitions of this Section shall not apply to:
1. 
Any child under ten (10) years of age; or
2. 
Any act prohibited, or the prohibition of which is preempted by any provision of State law; or
3.
