(A) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
LICENSE. Any of the licenses issued by the city pursuant to this chapter:
LICENSED PREMISES. The compact and contiguous area of real estate for which a license is issued.
NUDITY. The showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, buttocks or anus with less than a fully opaque covering; the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple; the exposure of any device, costume, perineum anal region or pubic hair region; or the exposure of any device worn as a cover over the nipples and/or areola of the female breast, which device simulates and gives the realistic appearance of nipples or areola; or human male genitals in a discernibly turgid state, even if completely and opaquely covered.
(Prior Code, § 1220.01)
(B) Purpose. The City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and general welfare of the people of the city that nudity is prohibited as provided in this section on any licensed premises. This is to protect and assist the owners, operators and employees of the establishment, as well as patrons and the public in general, from harm stemming from the physical immediacy and combination of alcohol, nudity and sex. The Council especially intends to prevent any subliminal endorsement of sexual harassment or activities likely to lead to the possibility of various criminal conduct, including prostitution, sexual assault and disorderly conduct. The City Council also finds that the prohibition of nudity on the premises of any licensed premises, as set forth in this section, reflects the prevailing community standards of the city.
(Prior Code, § 1220.03)
(C) Prohibited acts.
(1) General rule. It is unlawful for the licensee or owner to permit or allow nudity on the licensed premises.
(2) Revocation and suspension. The Council may suspend or revoke a license for violation of this section. A suspension or revocation does not take effect until the licensee has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to this chapter. This section does not preclude other civil remedies, including injunctive relief, pending the outcome of the hearing.
