TO AMEND ORDINANCR N0. 77-2859 WHICH ADOPTED .THE UNIFORM 'BUILDING CODE STANDARDS, 1976 EDITION 4 r FANO SUBJECT TO CERTAIN AMENDMENTS. Comment: On July 25, 1978, the Council voted to delete from a proposed' .;n amendment of the.Uniform.Building ,Code a provision which would reduce the size of windows in kitchens from ten (10) square feet i to three (3) square feet. This ordinanceproposes to make this amendment at this time. Action: Item No. 6 - PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2238 BY I REGULATING THE LOCATION OF ADULT BUSINESSES IN IOWA CITY. Comment: Since the new criminal code went into effect in January of 1978, bars have not: been allowed to feature nude dancers. In a number of, Iowa communities, tavern owners have created a'separate business adjacent to the tavern which features nude dancers but',does not serve liquor. Such an arrangement frustrates the intent of the legislature and is a triumph; of form over substance.' It would create law enforcement ',problems because there would be,a tend- ency of.tavern customers to want to take their drinks With them next door to watch the dancing. While we might be able to pro- hibit the adjacent room under the present code, this amendment will remove any doubt.'' I i The provision that business may not he within 500 feet from each other has been added to prevent a concentration of such businesses In one area. Such a provision has been upheld in other juris- dictions because it has' -been found desirable not to'create `a "combat zone". � r�r 141CRDEILMED BY JORM MIC1146LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DCS MOINES MICROFILMED BY JORM 141CROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IUWi1 Agenda RegnlarCouncil Meeting - September 12,'lg78 7:30 P.M.
