(B) It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of a sexually-oriented business to allow the exterior portion of the sexually-oriented business to have flashing lights, or any words, lettering, photographs, silhouettes, drawings or pictorial representations of any matter except to the extent permitted by the provisions of this chapter.
(C) All off-street parking areas and premise entries of the sexually-oriented business shall be illuminated from dusk to closing hours of operation with a lighting system which provides an average maintained horizontal illumination of one foot-candle of light on the parking surface and walkways. This required lighting level is established in order to provide sufficient illumination of the parking areas and walkways serving the sexually-oriented business for the personal safety of patrons and employees and to reduce the incidence of vandalism and criminal conduct. The lighting shall be shown on the required sketch or diagram of the premises. (For further parking regulations see §§ 154.120 through 154.126.)
