A. Presumption: Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel or similar commercial establishment has been rented and vacated two (2) or more times in a period of time that is less than ten (10) hours creates a rebuttable presumption that the establishment is a sexually oriented motel as that term is defined in this chapter.
B. Offense: A person commits an offense if, as the person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel or similar commercial establishment that does not have a sexually oriented business use license, he or she rents or subrents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten (10) hours from the time the room is rented, he or she rents or subrents the same sleeping room again.
C. Terms Defined: For purposes of subsection B of this section, the terms "rent" or "subrent" mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration. (Ord. 440, 4-12-1994)
