The city hereby finds that the operation of businesses whose primary function is to provide cash to patrons in exchange for personal and business checks and money orders and to perform similar financial transactions for a service fee, require restrictions on the operations of such businesses to guard against potential threats to public safety. The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations that provide such safeguards, and to create and maintain business districts that offer patrons suitable and safe environments for conducting financial transactions that they may choose not to pursue at standard financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, savings and loan institutions, or brokerage houses.
(Ord. 612 Exhibit A (part), 2008).
