ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO X )
It has been noted that live entertainment in the nature of go-go girls
and allegedly nude performances are presently being conducted in certain
establishments in the City of Chula Vista. These operations have been
drawing a significant number of customers and as a result other bar�
owners are considering similar entertainment.
Go-go dancing, as well as any nude dancing, tends to create police pro-
blems. These probelms take the form of increases in prostitution, public
drunkenness, and miscellaneous disturbances . Nude dancing would undoub-
tedly generate complaints from various citizen groups in Chula Vista.
Therefore, an ordinance has been prepared incorporating the provisions
of the San Diego County ordinance, the Los Angeles Municipal ordinance,
and ordinances t.hat were drafted in 1971 and I972, but never adopted as
a result of the disappearance of the problem at that time.
If it is the Council " s desire to institute regulations governing the
condur.t of live entertainment in bars and eating establishments in the
City of Chula Vista, it is my recommendation that said ordinance be
adopted. The ordinance also contains specific prohibitions against
nudity in such establishments which has been accepted by the courts
of this state .

SUBJECT: Go-Ga Dancing
We now have two bars in Chula Vista utilizing go-go darzcers.
Normally they have been wearin_q bikini type ou-�fits.
However, we have been advised that an occasions they q�
topless and sometimes bottomless,
They have been holding special shows during the noontime
and this has created parking problems in the vicinity.
This was called to my attention when I rec�ntly attended
_ a meeting of the Broadway Association.
Both of these bars, Deanie' s (459 Broadcvay) and the
Blue Haven (618 "E" Street) are located in small shopping
centers. During a noontime show ti�e complete parking lot
fills up and this creates a problem for the o�her stores
because their customers may not be able to find a
space, There have been some arguments in this regardking
There is nothing we can do to
bars if the dancer' s top and bottonnisg�overednciH�g`vever,
we can enact legisZation prohibiting topless and bottomless
dancing in any business -�hat serves food, beverages, or food
and beverages including but not limited to alcoholic
beverages {see copiss of Los Angeles City Code Sections) . -
I recommend tnat we ask the Council to enact legislation
similar to the Los Angeles prohibitions.
This type of operation wili spread to other bars if it
proves successful. Even though the dancers may start out
legally dressed thQy will tend to dance nude as time goes
on in order to maintain interest. Of caurse there are
instances when the removal of all clothes could result in
. a drastic diminishing of interest. -

SUBJECT: Go-Go Dancing Entertainment
Last month Bob Baker, business license en�orcement officer,
had an �nquiry regarding City Ordinances relating to go-go
dancers. The party inquiring was interested in establishing
such entertainment in a local bar to stimulate business.
Mr. Baker checked caith the police department to determine if
there is any local control on such entertainment and was
advised there is none.
Periodically, we have had similar inquiries made directly to
the Police Department and to date, we have successfully
discouraged them; however, I feel eventually someone w�ll
elect to provide such entertainment. [�7hether it _wou7d create
substantial roblems in this community is a moot ;»P_,�t_,_„;, It
could result in additional policing problems , particularly if
it proliferates and is established in some of the smaller
on-sale premises.
I 'm bringing this matter to your attention as a point of
information. Should you feel this could be of concern to the
community and a regulatory ordinance which would control
such entertainment and entertainers would be appropriate ,
we will cooperate with the City Attorney in its development.
