(4) Adult clubs may operate any night of the week and shall close no later than 2:00 a.m.

(5) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to employ an adequate number of qualified security personnel who will be present on club premises during all operating hours to maintain peace and order and to ensure compliance with the law. If the city administrator determines that the club operation is directly resulting in an increased demand for police services in the vicinity of the club, the licensee shall be required to augment its private security force by hiring commissioned police officers with arrest authority to patrol said vicinity during club operating hours.

(6) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to ensure that no alcoholic beverages or controlled substances are offered for sale or consumed on the club premises.

(7) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to remove from the club premises any person who is or appears to be under the influence of or affected by the use of alcohol and/or drugs, or whose conduct poses a physical danger to the safety of others present.

(8) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to provide proper and adequate illumination of all portions of the club premises which are available for use by the public. Such illumination shall be not less than 10 footcandles at floor level at all times when the premises are open to the public or when any member of the public is permitted to enter and remain therein.

(9) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to discourage loitering or the creating of public nuisances or disturbances of the peace by any patrons of the club on club premises, or the immediate vicinity of the same. “Loitering” shall not include walking between the club building and a patron’s vehicle, nor shall it include the act of waiting in line to gain admission to a club.

(10) It shall be the obligation of the licensee to clean up all litter resulting from club operations. The cleanup shall occur within eight hours after the end of each day’s operation and shall extend for a one-block radius around the club.

(11) The licensee shall not promote or permit the display or exposure in the club of a person’s genitalia as all or any part of an exhibition, entertainment or attraction to the club. (Ord. 1805 § 11, 1993)
