Kingdom City Standards of Conduct ordinance (§ 605.220)

A. The following standards of conduct shall be adhered to by all adult businesses, their employees and all managers, servers and entertainers and patrons of adult businesses, while on or about the premises of the business:

1. Identification Cards. All or any manager, server, employee or entertainer issued a license by the Village Clerk under the provisions contained herein shall, at all times when working in an adult business, have in their possession and their person a valid identification card issued by the Village, bearing the permit number, the employee's physical description and a photograph of such employee. Such identification cards shall be laminated to prevent alteration.

2. Age Restriction. Only persons eighteen (18) years of age or older shall be permitted on the premises of any adult business.

3. Exterior Observation. The premises of all adult businesses will be so constructed as to insure that the interior of the premises is not observable from the exterior of the building. In addition, all windows will be covered to prevent viewing of the interior of the building from the outside and all doorways not constructed with an anteroom or foyer will be covered so as to prevent observation of the interior of the premises from the exterior of the building.

4. Exterior Display. No adult business will be conducted in any manner that permits the observation of live performers engaged in an erotic depiction or dance or any material or persons depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas, as defined herein, from any exterior source by display, decoration, sign, show window or other opening.

5. Nudity Prohibited. No manager, employee, server, entertainer or patron in an adult business other than a licensed bathhouse shall be nude, or clothed in less than opaque attire.

6. Certain Acts Prohibited.

a. No manager, employee, server, entertainer or patron shall perform any specified sexual activities as defined herein, wear or use any device or covering exposed to view which simulates any specified anatomical area, use artificial devices or inanimate objects to perform or depict any of the specified sexual activities or participate in any act of prostitution as prohibited by State law or Municipal ordinance while on the premises of an adult business.

b. All dancing or other live entertainment on the licensed premises that is intended to provide sexual stimulation or to appeal to, arouse or excite the sexual desire or interests of the patrons shall occur and be performed solely on a platform or stage which is raised at least two (2) feet above the primary level of the customer floor area. In order to insure the performance area of the stage or performance platform is not within the reach of patrons and to further insure patrons are unable to touch the performers during their performances, the licensee, owner, operator or manager shall either erect a physical barrier between the performers and the patrons that effectively eliminates the touching of the performers by the patrons or they shall paint a clearly discernible boundary line on the stage surface beyond which the performers shall not perform and which is sufficiently distant from the forward edge of the stage to insure the patrons cannot touch the performers. Further, it shall be unlawful for any patron to be upon any portion of the stage during a performance or for an owner, operator or manager to permit a patron to be upon any portion of the stage during the performance.

c. No employee, server, entertainer or patron of an adult business while on the premises of an adult business shall knowingly touch, fondle or caress any specified anatomical area of another person, or knowingly permit another person to touch, fondle or caress any specified anatomical area of such employee, server, entertainer or patron, whether such specified anatomical areas are clothed, unclothed, covered or exposed.

d. No entertainer shall solicit, demand or receive any payment or gratuity from any patron for any act prohibited herein and while on the premises of an adult business and no entertainer shall receive any payment or gratuity from any patron for any entertainment except as follows:

(1) While such entertainer is on the stage, a patron may place such payment or gratuity into a container affixed to the stage; or

(2) While such entertainer is not on the stage but while on the premises of an adult business and is clothed so as to not expose to view any specified anatomical area, a patron may either place such payment or gratuity into the entertainer's hand, or under a leg garter worn by such entertainer at least four (4) inches below the bottom of the pubic region.

e. No owner, operator, manager or other person in charge of the premises of an adult business shall:

(1) Knowingly permit alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverages to be brought upon the premises unless authorized to do so by a properly issued and current drinking establishment or cereal malt beverage license;

(4) Knowingly allow or permit any act of prostitution or patronizing prostitution on the premises, as prohibited by State law or Municipal ordinance; or

(5) Knowingly allow or permit a violation of this Article or any other Village ordinance provision or State law.

B. An application is overdue in payment to the Village for taxes, fees, fines, or penalties assessed against or imposed upon him/her in relation to the sexually oriented business for which license is sought, or the property on which the sexually oriented business is located or will be located.
