The City Council in adopting the application and licensing and/or permit system set forth herein has determined in accordance with Government Code Section 6255 that the public interest in disclosure of the information set forth above is outweighed by the public interest in achieving compliance with this chapter by ensuring that the applicant’s privacy, confidentiality or security interests are protected.

G. This temporary sexually oriented business performer license shall authorize a performer/adult cabaret dancer to commence performance at a sexually oriented business establishment that possesses a valid sexually oriented business regulatory license authorized to provide live entertainment.
H. The fact that a license applicant possesses other types of state or City permits or licenses does not exempt the license applicant from the requirement of obtaining a sexually oriented business performer license. (Ord. 3315 §§ 2(2), 2(14) – 2(16), 2014; Ord. 3241 § 3, 2012).
