(A) Purpose and intent. It is declared to be the purpose and intent of this section to protect the public health, safety, welfare and morals of the community, to promote the stability of property values, and impose restrictions upon those activities which pander to gross sexuality in a manner that would detract from the neighborhood, adversely affect the property values, increase crime and violence, and be repugnant to the morals of the community. In recognition of the protections afforded to citizens under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, it is not the intent of this section to inhibit freedom of speech or the press, but rather to deter those of low morals from imposing their lack of morals upon the rest of the community; and further recognizing that those parts of a community, which become centers of loose moral conduct, frequently become places of rowdiness, criminality, and indecent behavior. It is further the belief that just as advertising is designed to stimulate one's appetite for desiring goods or a service, an over-abundance of preoccupation with sexual displays or material arouses the appetites of those so preoccupied and encourages violations of the criminal statutes involving sexual offenses and is contrary to the health, safety and welfare of the community.
(B) Prohibition. No person shall appear in a state of nudity in any place that sells or offers to sell alcoholic beverages within the city.
(C) Definition. For the purpose of this section, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
NUDITY. The showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, or buttocks with less than fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than fully opaque covering or any part of the nipples, or the showing of the male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.
