A person who operates or causes to be operated a sexually oriented business other than an adult motel, which exhibits on the premises in a viewing room of less than 150 square feet of floor space, a film, video cassette, or other video reproduction which depicts specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas, shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) Upon application for a sexually oriented business license, the application shall be accompanied by a diagram of the premises showing a plan thereof specifying the location of one or more manager's stations and the location of all overhead lighting fixtures and designating any portion of the premises in which customers will not be permitted. A manager's station may not exceed 32 square feet of floor area. The diagram shall also designate the place at which the permit will be conspicuously posted, if granted. A professionally prepared diagram in the nature of an engineer's or architect's blueprint shall not be required; however, each diagram should be oriented to the north or to some designated street or object and should be drawn to a designated scale or with marked dimensions sufficient to show the various internal dimensions of all areas of the interior of the premises to an accuracy of plus or minus six inches. The chief of police or as otherwise designated by the city manager may waive the foregoing diagram for renewal applications if the applicant adopts a diagram that was previously submitted and certifies that the configuration of the premises has not been altered since it was prepared.
(2) The application shall be sworn to be true and correct by the applicant.
(3) No alteration in the configuration or location of a manager's station may be made without the prior approval of the chief of police or his designee.
(4) The licensee commits an offense if he permits a manager's station to be unattended by an employee at any time a customer is present on the premises.
(5) The interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view from a manager's station of every area of the premises to which any customer is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms. Restrooms may not contain video reproduction equipment. If the premises has two or more manager's stations designated, then the interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the premises to which any customer is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms, from at least one of the manager's stations. The view required in this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager's station.
(6) The licensee commits an offense if he permits access to a customer of any area of the premises that is not visible from the manager's station for any purpose, excluding restrooms.
(7) The owners, operator, and any agents and employees present on the premises shall ensure that the view area specified in subsection
(5) of this section remains unobstructed by any doors, walls, merchandise, display racks, or other materials at all times that any customer is present in the premises and to ensure that no customer is permitted access to any area of the premises which has been designated as an area in which customers will not be permitted in the application filed pursuant to subsection
(1) of this section.
(8) The premises of an adult bookstore, adult video store, adult novelty store, adult service establishment, nude model business, sex parlor, and sexual encounter center shall be equipped with overhead lighting fixtures of sufficient intensity to illuminate every place to which customers are permitted access at an illumination of not less than 20 footcandles as measured at the floor level.
(9) The licensee commits an offense if he permits illumination of any area of the premises to which customers have access to be less than 20 footcandles.
