STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The attached Urgency Ordinance will extend the extension of time for
non-conforming adult entertainment businesses until June 4 , 1986 .
The present extension of time expires on December 4, 1985. The new
extension of time is necessary to allow time for consideration and
adoption of Code Amendment No. 85-20 which will affect
non-conforming adult entertainment businesses .
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached Urgency Ordinance to extend non-conforming adult
entertainment businesses until June 4, 1986 .
ANALYSIS:
Article 975 (Adult Entertainment Businesses ) required that all
non-conforming adult entertainment businesses be brought into
conformance with Article 975 by December 2, 1984, or be
discontinued. In November, 1984, amendments were proposed to
Article 975. In order to allow time for adoption of the amendments,
the non-conforming businesses were granted an extension of time
before they would be required to be brought into conformance . The
extension of time has been extended twice as consideration of the
proposed code amendment has been continued.
The extension of time for non-conforming businesses is presently
scheduled to expire on December 4, 1985 . On November 4, 1985, the
City Council denied the code amendment , scheduled a public hearing
on the item for January 6, 1986, and directed staff to prepare an
Urgency Ordinance to continue the extension of time for six months .
The attached Urgency Ordinance continues the extension of time for
nonconforming businesses to June 4 , 1986 .
FUNDING SOURCE:
No funds required.
P10 4/84
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council may not adopt the extension of time for
non-conforming uses. This would retain the requirement that
non-conforming businesses terminate or be brought into conformance
by December 4, 1985.

Subject CODE AMENDMENT NO. 35-20 Date October 30, 1985
ADULT BUSINESSES ( AGENDA
ITEM F-1 )
On October 21 , 1985 , the City Council considered Code Amendment No.
85-20 ( Adult Businesses ) . The amendment was to establish
non-transferable conditional use permits for Adult Businesses ( as
well as for Convenience Markets , Adult Dancing, Teen Dancing and
Fortune-Telling) . Other than establishing non-transferable
conditional use permits , the ordinance ,made only minor cleanup
revisions to the Adult Business Code ( Article 975 ) which has been
effective since 1981 .
At the October 21 meeting, the City Council listened to public
testimony and then closed the public hearing and continued their
decision t-o November 4 , 1985 . The public testimony raised _several
issues which should be briefly addressed:
There are no relocation areas available in the City for
non-conforming massacre parlors to move to.
Th.e San Diego Massage Ordinance should be adopted.
Notices of public hearing for massage parlors should not be
expanded beyond '300 feet .
in regard to the first issue, staff has researched the availability
of locations in the City which meet the locational criteria of
Article 975 and has identified approximately 50 commercial locations
which will work . The previously proposed definition of
Family-Oriented would have eliminated many of the 50 locations and
staff dropped the definition for that reason . In terms of the
availability of vacant leaseable space, staff does not feel it is
the City ' s responsibility to guarantee such availability, nor to
guarantee that surrounding residents and business tenants will rind
the proposed use acceptable.
The public testimony also mentioned a San Diego zoning ordinance
.which differentiates between "recreational massage" and "therapeutic
massage . " Staff has not seen this ordinance, however , it is
anticipated that all of the existing massage parlors in town would
fall under the term "recreational massage" rather than "therapeutic
massage" since they are not operated in conjunction with other
medical services or sanctighs . Additionally, Gail Hutton p,o,inted
Memo: Code Amendment No. ,85-20
Page Two `
out at the meeting that the City Municipal Code S . 5 . 24 .150i 'exempts a
wide range of uses which may be associated with "therapeutic
massage" from the massage parlor regulations of the City.
The third issue involved tree expansion by Development Services of
the notification radius for the public hearing required f.or a'
Conditional USe Permit for Adult Business . The City is required by
State law to notify a minimum radius of 300 feet around a proposed
location . State law does not prevent a City from notifying a larger
area if so desired. In the cases cited in the public testimony
where staff expanded the notification area, such expansion ,was done
in response to Planning Commission direction to do so after citizen
displeasure with the minimum 300 foot notice.
in reviewing the proposed Code Amendment, it is important �o-:_keep in
mind that the proposed changes to the Adult Business Code ar.e minor
and that the ordinance has been effective for four years . Staff is
not proposing a new ordinance to the City Council which has not been
utilized elsewhere. The ordinance was modeled after similar
ordinances in effect. across the Country and this fact has not
changed .

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Article 975 ( Adult Entertainment Businesses ) was subject to Code
Amendment No . 85-12 in Spring of 1985 . The amendment was intended
to define "Family-oriented Centers" and prohibit adult entertainment
businesses in such centers . The amendment also required that the
req. for Adult Entertainment Businesses
Conditional Use Permit re
-un with the operator and not be transferable upon sale of the
business . The amendment further granted exemptions from the
locational criteria of Article 975 for those existing Adult
Entertainment Businesses located along Beach Boulevard.
On ,;uly 15 , 1985 , the City Council continued Code Amendment No .
85-12 so that staff , the City Attorney ' s office and the Planning
Commission could reach an agreement on the recom,^:ended Code
Amendment . The City Attorney and the Planning Commission had been
opposed to the staff recommendation orConditional
After Usingeriits to
run with the operator of adultbusinesses .
Administration , the City Attorneys office and the Police
Department , staff has reached common agreement on a new approach to
the Code Amendment . Because the new approach is substantially
different from the first approach , staff has assigned the Code
tr
Amendment a new number and re-submitted it to the Planning
Commission .
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hear the Code Amendment on
October 15 , 1985 . Their action and recommendation will be forwarded
to the City Council prior to their October 21 , 1985 meeting`. This
accelerated hearing schedule is necessary 985 hen the amortization
order for the Code
Amendment to be effective by December 4 , 198 w
period for non-conforming Adult Businesses expires .
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission Action and Recommendation:
The Planning Commission 's October 15 ,
1985 action and recommendation
on Code Amendment No. 85-20 will be forwarded to the City Council
prior to the Council 's October 21 , 1985 meeting .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Negative Declaration No. 85-62 and adopt Code Amendment No.
85-20.
ANALYSIS:
The major area of disagreement with the initial code amendment for
Adult Entertainment Businesses was the requirement that Conditional
Use Permits for those uses run with the operator and not be
transferable. The City Attorney has indicated that such a policy is
defensible if it is applied to other businesses and massage parlors
are not singled out . As a result, staff has identified other
businesses which have unique problems and which it may be desirable
to control through non-transferable conditional use permits . . Those ,
uses are those listed in Sections 9430. 8 ( C2 District ) , 9454 (C3
District ) and 9472 . 2 (C4 District ) as requiring conditional use
permits . Those uses are as follows :
1 . Convenience Markets
2 . Adult Entertainment Businesses
3 . Dancing and/or live .entertainment
4 . Teen dancing
5 . Fortune telling
Staff 's position is that all of the above uses have the potential to
create unusual police and land use related problems over time . By
requiring that each new operator of one of those businesses receive
a new conditional use permit , the City achieves the ability to
re-evaluate the conditions of approval Vlaced on -them originally and
readjust them as necessary to take into account changing conditions
in the surrounding area , or changing policies of the new operators .
The cities of Fountain Valley, Westminster and Burbank have similar
requirements .
In order to implement the above policy, the Code Amendment adds
wording to Articles 943 (C2 ) , 945 (C3 ) , and 947 (C4 ) to require that
the conditional use permit for the specified uses be
non-transferable and subject to the restrictions of new Section
9841 . 4 . 1 (Conditional Use Permits Non-Transferable ) . Section
84 )
9841 .4 .1 is an addition to the Conditional Use Permit (Article section of the zoning code which explains in detail the limitations
of non-transferable conditional use permits . This section also
requires that where the specified uses appear in other districts
( the various specific plans ) , the non-transferability of conditional
use permits shall also apply. The City Attorney 's office believes
that this approach is workable and . defendable . Staff has requested
the Planning Commission 's concurrance for forwarding to the City
Council .
R.C.A. -2- (3466d)
The second change to the proposed Code Amendment deletes the
definition of "Family-Oriented' from the amendment . it has been
determined by Development Services and the Attorney's office that
'Family-Oriented' is a concept that cannot be adequately defined .
Research by staff revealed that nearly all shopping centers contain
some use that ' could be deemed 'Family-Oriented' . Rather , staff
feels that the Planning Commission should consider each shopping
center and the comments of surrounding neighbors and tenants
individually and reach their own conclusions regarding ,
compatibility . Existing Article 984 ( Conditional Use Permit )
contain; the following finding for denial :
( c ) The proposed use is not compatible with existing or other
proposed uses in the neighborhood .
Staff feels that this finding adequately covers the situation of
family-oriented uses in a shopping center .
A third change to the new Code Amendment involves the original
exemption from locational criteria for existing Adult Entertainment
Businesses located along State highways . This exemption was
originally deemed desirable to preclude those businesses from
relocating into family-oriented neighborhoods . Because existing
findings for denial are adequate for preventing location in
family-oriented areas , this concern is not considered to be valid .
The City Attorney also argued that the proposed exemption
constituted a variance to the zoning code with no demonstration of
land-related hardship. The new Code Amendment withdraws the
exemption and reinstates all of the remaining nine non-conforTin.g
adult businesses to the coverage under the locational criteria and
amortization period of Article 975 . The amortization period expires
December 4 , 1985 .
The fourth and last change to the new Code Amendment is to remove
the word 'Entertainment' from 'Adult 'Entertainment Businesses'
everywhere it appears in the code . This is done to prevent
confusion with the ordinance for Adult Dance halls and Adult
Entertainment (Article 9730 . 83 ) .
4 . 0 Environmental Status:
Negative Declaration No . 85-62 has been advertised for a 10-day
period to expire October 21 , 1985 on the date of the scheduled City
Council hearing on Code Amendment No. 85-20 Any comments received
will be forwarded to the City Council prior to adoption .
FUNDING SOURCE:
Not Applicable .
R. C. A. -3- (3466d)
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council may deny Code Amendment No. 85-20 or modify as
desired. Continuation of the Code Amendment, however, will cause
the amortization period for non-conforming adult businesses to
expire (on December 4, 1985) prior to the effective date of the
adopted Code. Amendment.
