(B) Upon application for a sexually oriented business license, the application shall be accompanied by diagram of the premises showing a plan thereof specifying the location of one or more manager’s stations and the location of all overhead lighting fixtures and designating any portion of the premises in which patrons will not be permitted. A manager’s station may not exceed 32 square feet of floor area. The diagram shall also designate the place at which the permit will be conspicuously posted, if granted. A professionally prepared diagram in the nature of an engineer’s or architect’s blueprint shall not be required; however, each diagram should be oriented to the north or to some designated scale or with marked dimensions sufficient to show the various internal dimensions of all areas of the interior of the premises to an accuracy of plus or minus six inches. The Chief of Police may waive the foregoing diagram for renewal applications if the application adopts a diagram that was previously submitted and certifies that the configuration of the premises has not been altered since it was prepared.

(D) No alteration in the configuration or location of a manager’s station may be made without the prior approval of the Chief of Police.

If the premises has two or more manager’s stations designated, then the interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose from at least one of the manager’s stations. The view required in this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager’s station.
(G) It shall be the duty of the owner and/or operator, and it shall also be the duty of any agents and employees present on the premises, to ensure that the view area specified remains unobstructed by any doors, walls, merchandise, display racks or other materials at all to ensure that no patron is permitted access to any area of the premises which has been designated as an area in which patrons will not be permitted.
