A. No person shall perform adult live entertainment except upon a permanently fixed stage which is at least eighteen inches above the level of the floor, separated by a distance of at least six feet from the nearest area occupied by patrons, and surrounded with a three foot barrier. No patron shall be permitted within six feet of the stage while the stage is occupied by a performer.

B. While patrons are present at the establishment, they shall not be allowed to directly touch, fondle, or caress, as those terms are defined in Kev, Inc. V. Kitsap County, 793 F.2d 1053 (9th Cir. 1986), the performers while they are performing. This prohibition does not extend to incidental touching, i.e., non-intentional touching as defined in Kev. Patrons shall be advised of the separation and no-touching requirements by signs placed on the barrier and, if necessary, by employees of the establishment.

C. The adult business shall provide separate dressing room facilities for entertainers which are exclusively dedicated to the entertainers’ use.

D. If patrons wish to tip performers, tips shall be placed in receptacles which shall be located at least six feet from the performance, performer, and the performing area. Patrons shall not throw tips to performers, hand tips directly to the performers, or place tips in the performers’ costumes.

E. This section only applies to the operation of an adult bookstore, adult motion picture theater, adult mini-motion picture theater, adult motion picture arcade, or adult live entertainment theater which comes into existence after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, or to existing adult entertainment businesses which relocate or undergo interior remodeling.
