HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 6, 1994 (56)r or CITY OF LODI 00 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: An Urgency Ordinance Regulating Nude, Semi -Nude and Topless Outcall Entertainment MEETING DATE: July 6, 1994 PREPARED BY: City Attorney RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council consideration and direction; possible adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 1597. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the week of June 2%, 1994, City staff was contacted by an individual interested in starting a business offering topless or bikini -clad maid service. It was her proposal to operate her business in Stockton, Lodi and the unincorporated areas of San Joaquin County. In examining Lodi Is adult business ordinance, it quickly became clear that the business proposed did not fall within the definitions of the present ordinance. As such, the applicant would need only a business license to operate in Lodi. It was felt that although this proposed activity did not fall squarely within the limitations of the adult business ordinance in the Municipal Code, it was essentially similar enough to warrant the immediate consideration of Council as to whether it should be included. On that basis, the attached urgency ordinance was prepared and is presented to the Council for consideration. The ordinance simply includes in the definition of businesses subject to the adult business regulations a description of "outcall" adult entertainment, and forbids offering such adult entertainment anywhere except at a fixed place of business otherwise in compliance with the adult business ordinance.
