(1) Upon application of a sexually oriented business license, the application shall be accompanied by a diagram of the premises showing a plan thereof specifying the location of one or more manager's stations, the location of all overhead lighting fixtures and switches, which lights are controlled by which switches and designating any portion of the premises in which patrons will not be permitted. Only agents or employees shall have access to light switches. 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 street or object and should be drawn to a 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 City Secretary may waive the foregoing diagram for renewal applications if the applicant adopts a diagram that was previously submitted and certifies the configuration for the premises has not been altered since it was prepared.
(2) The application shall be sworn to be true and correct by the applicant.
(3) No alteration in the configuration or location or location of a manager's station may be made without the prior approval of the City Secretary.

(5) The interior of the premises shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view from a manager's station of every area of the premises to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose excluding restrooms. Restrooms may not contain video reproduction equipment. 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 section must be in direct line of sight from the manager's station.
(6) It shall be the duty of the owners and operator, and it also shall be the duty of any agents and employees present in the premises to ensure that the view area specified in division (A)(5) of this section remains unobstructed by any doors, walls, merchandise, display racks or other materials at all times that any patron is present on the premises and 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 in the application filed pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section.
(7) The premises shall be equipped with overhead lighting fixtures of sufficient intensity to illuminate every place to which patrons are permitted access at an illumination of not less than 1.0 footcandle as measured at the floor level.
(8) It shall be the duty of the owners and operator and it also shall be the duty of any agent and employee present on the premises to ensure that the illumination described above is maintained at all times that any patron is present on the premises.
