COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 5.40.020
Defining Adult Businesses
MEETING DATE: June 15, 1994
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. 1595 amending Lodi Municipal
Code Chapter 5.40.020 defining adult businesses.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Pursuant to the request of the Council, the attached
draft ordinance would modify Municipal Code 55.40.020
(4) to include "juice bars." This type of business
has recently sprung up in the area and involves establishments offering nude or
topless entertainment in places where no alcohol is served. Patrons purchase
or are served soft drinks or juice only, and the businesses do not have to cope
with regulations applicable to places where alcohol is sold.
Although the ordinance as presently worded would probably cover such activities
by inference, it may be desirable to explicitly include in the ordinance's
reach dinner theaters or other places where food and/or beverages (other than
alcohol) are served.
This is intended as a preventive measure only, since I am unaware of any
similar uses presently being conducted in the City, or pending applications for
such businesses.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
Respectfully submitted,
Bob McNatt
City Attorney
