This chapter is an exercise of police power for the protection of the welfare, health and safety of those children who attend and patronize entertainment centers. The City Council hereby finds and declares that the pervasive problems of runaway children, violence, drug abuse and abuse of children are problems of such magnitude that they are a matter of City concern and are contributed to by unregulated teen entertainment centers. As such, this chapter shall regulate entertainment centers concerning the admission of persons under the age of twenty-one years.
