§ 62-264. Additional regulations for adult arcades.

(a)

View from manager's station.

If an adult arcade has one manager's station designated pursuant to this Article, then the interior of the adult arcade shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of every area of the adult arcade to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose from that manager's station. If an adult arcade has two of more manager's stations designated pursuant to this Article, then the interior of the adult arcade shall be configured in such a manner that there is an unobstructed view of each area of the adult arcade to which any patron is permitted access for any purpose from at least one of the manager's stations. The view required in this subsection must be by direct line of sight from the manager's station.

(2)

It shall be the duty of the owners and operator, and it shall also be the duty of any agents and employees present in an adult arcade, to ensure that the view area specified in subsection (a)(1) remains unobstructed by any merchandise, display racks or other materials at all times that any patron is present in the adult arcade and to ensure that no patron is permitted access to any of the adult arcade which has been designated as an area in which patrons will not be permitted in the plan filed pursuant to this Article.

This provision shall not apply to conduits or plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation or electrical service, provided that such conduits shall be so screened or otherwise configured as to prevent their use as openings that would permit any portion of a human body to penetrate the wall or barrier separating viewing areas.
