§ 630.020. License Required For Adult Business., Chapter 630. Adult Businesses, Business and Occupation, Code of Ordinances, Webb City

It is unlawful for any person to operate or maintain an adult business in the City unless the owner, operator or lessee thereof has obtained an adult business license from the City, or to operate such business after such license has been revoked or suspended by the City.

It is unlawful for any entertainer, server, employee, manager, operator or owner to knowingly perform any work, service or entertainment directly related to the operation of an unlicensed adult business.

It shall be prima facie evidence that any adult business that fails to have posted an adult business license, in the manner required by this Section, has not obtained such a license. In addition, it shall be prima facie evidence that any entertainer, server, employee, manager, operator or owner who performs any business, service or entertainment in an adult business, in which an adult business license is not posted in the manner required by this Section, had knowledge that such business was not licensed.

Any business enterprise that barters, sells or rents goods that are designed for use in connection with "specified sexual activities", or that emphasize matters depicting, describing or relating to "specified sexual activities" or "specified anatomical areas" and that excludes minors by virtue of age from all or any part of the business premises shall be deemed to have consented to periodic entry into and inspection of the business premises by appropriate City Officials and inspection by those officials of only those business records necessary for the limited purpose of determining whether such business enterprise is an "adult business" as defined in this Chapter.

This entry and inspection shall take place during hours when such adult business is open to the public, unless otherwise required by the adult business, and shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of such business.
