ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS LICENSE FEES
WHEREAS, a new adult business ordinance has been adopted by the City
Council of the City of Rosemead, California, as Urgency Ordinance No. 914; and
WHEREAS, an important element of the ordinance is the licensing of adult
business owners and adult business performers to provide assurance to residents and
visitors of the City that the facilities where adult entertainment is offered meet the
requirements of the ordinance dealing with potential threats to the public health and
safety, and
WHEREAS, employees of and owners of adult entertainment businesses must
abide by the requirements of the ordinance when operating or working at each
business, and
WHEREAS, The primary method of assuring that the requirements of the
ordinance are being met by adult entertainment businesses and performers is through
the business license process that subjects business owners and performers to
background checks and ongoing licensing requirements, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Proposition 26, the City is entitled to recover
those costs of enforcing the terms of the ordinance by collection of business license
fees; and
WHEREAS, the City currently requires special business licenses for adult book
stores, adult cabarets, adult motion picture arcades, adult motion picture theaters, and
adult theaters but has not required licenses for adult model studios or individual licenses
for adult performers at any adult business; and
WHEREAS, the City wants to place adult model studios and individual
performers at adult businesses on a substantially similar basis as it treats other adult
businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined based on the personnel costs of City staff
and the time expected to be needed to review applications, along with the costs of
associated with background investigations by outside agencies that the costs of
processing business license applications, are substantially covered and are not
exceeded by the fees proposed below.
