(A) Adult-oriented businesses and adult-oriented business employees shall permit officers or agents of the city to inspect, from time to time on an occasional basis, the portions of the adult-oriented business premises where patrons are permitted, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the specific regulations of this chapter, during those times when the adult-oriented business is occupied by patrons or is open for business.
(B) A licensee’s knowing or intentional refusal to permit such an inspection shall not constitute a misdemeanor but shall constitute a violation of this section for purposes of license denial, suspension and/or revocation.
(C) This section shall be narrowly construed by the city to authorize reasonable inspections of the licensed premises pursuant to this chapter, but not to authorize a harassing or excessive pattern of inspections.
