DISCUSSION:
7. Proposed Annexation Report.
Mr. Todd Peetz, City Planner, summarized the Avon by the Sea annexation report.
Ms. Pat Bender, Avon by the Sea, explained that she has owned property in Cape
Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Avon by the Sea. Ms. Bender expressed that fire and
police protection are no better or worse in the County or the City. She stated that
there may be less millage now; however, once annexed into the City this could change
with new budgets. Ms. Bender expressed that the roads are maintained in the area
and added that she did not desire to be annexed.
Mayor Randels responded to Richard Worley of Cape Canaveral that Avon by the
Sea would have to desire to be annexed and that Cape Canaveral registered voters
may have the right to vote on the referendum.
Mayor Randels responded to Lee Vicidomini that voluntary annexations are
requested through a petition to the City. It was noted that Avon by the Sea
Residences have Cocoa Beach addresses and the question arose if addresses would
change due to the proposed annexation.
Mr. Joe Vicidomini of Grant Avenue questioned beach access. He expressed that
residents enjoy the fact that there is no beach access.
Ms. Marilyn Rigerman, Cape Canaveral, requested that the City of Cape Canaveral
residents vote on this issue as well as Avon by the Sea registered voters.
Mike Kuzuka, Avon by the Sea, stated that this is an unwanted annexation. He
inquired about changes in zoning and if this annexation would rale out future high-rise
complexes? Mayor Randels replied that Cape Canaveral Code has height and
density rules. Mr. Peetz explained that the code remains with the County and,
therefore, applies until the City's comprehensive plan amendment has been adopted.
Ms. Linda Gibson, Avon by the Sea, expressed that she would like to explore the
possibility of annexation and have their voice heard by a vote. Mr. Boucher
responded to Ms. Gibson that a survey to the north and south of the Cocoa Beach
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
June 15, 2004
Page 6 of 8
area is still being analyzed, Ms. Gibson requested information on the effects of zoning
because citizens would like to vote intelligently.
Mr. Keith Carter, Avon by the Sea, stated that he looks upon the annexation favorably
and that the character of Avon by the Sea would fit well into Cape Canaveral. Mr.
Carter requested that the City conduct public meetings with questions and answers
while also being proactive towards providing the annexation information to the
citizens.
Mr. Bill Cronin, Avon by the Sea, questioned why property owners paying taxes
aren't allowed to vote? Attorney Garganese responded that it is prohibited by State
law and FS Chapter 171 calls for registered voters to vote in the referendum.
Mr. Jim Durocher, Avon by the sea Association Treasurer, asked for the percentage
of registered voters in the Avon by the Sea area. Mr. Peetz explained that he is still
gathering information. Mr. Durocher questioned if both Cape Canaveral and Cocoa
Beach could be on the ballot at same time? He reported that at a 2000 association
meeting 100 homeowners voted: 2/3 for County, 1/3 for Cape Canaveral and 1 vote
for Cocoa Beach. He further stated that five (5) law enforcement officers would not be
justified. There was some discussion regarding hydrants and sewer service. Mr.
Durocher stated that he supports the annexation. He also requested that the City
petition the County to provide improvements to help cover some of the initial costs.
Mr. Durocher thanked Council for the fireworks ordinance.
Mr. Leo Nicholas pointed out that the City couldn't provide reuse lines if Cocoa Beach
continues to provide sewer service. Mr. Nicholas continued that Avon by the Sea
residents do not pay utilities tax and that the City will need to acquire the millage rate
and notify the residents. Mr. Nicholas voiced support for the annexation, however, he
is concerned about the cost to the City.
Mr. Buzz Petsos stated his support for the annexation. Mr. Petsos voiced his concern
regarding cost to the City and requested additional information before considering. He
questioned if the fireworks and adult entertainment establishments would be
eliminated? Mr. Peetz responded that those establishments would not fall under the
City's jurisdiction until the comprehensive plan amendment is adopted.
Mr. Frank Laurent, Avon by the Sea, agreed there needs to be additional information
gathered and town meetings held.
Citizens requested and Council concurred that the annexation report be added to the
City's Web Page. In addition, Mr. Boucher explained that town meetings will be
conducted and a special newsletter on the Annexation would be distributed.

Attorney Garganese explained that the code concerning non -conforming lots occurs in
City Code Sections 110-191 through 197.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Hoog and seconded by Mayor Randels
to proceed with the annexation and allow Cape Canaveral and Avon by the Sea
voters' participation in the referendum. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with
voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Hoog, For; Mr. Miller, For, Mr. Morgan, For;
Mayor Randels, For and Mr. Treverton, For.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog directed staff to arrange town meetings regarding the key
issues, such as law enforcement and costs as well as land use and zoning issues.
Attorney Garganese responded to Mr. Morgan that once annexed, the City takes
responsibility for Avon by the Sea, as it becomes a part of the City. The only recourse
the City has is to de -annex.

Procedures for Submitting Resolutions
Florida League of Cities' 78th Annual Conference
Westin Diplomat Resort, Hollywood, Florida
August 19-21, 2004
In order to fairly systematize the method for presenting resolutions to the League
membership, the following procedures have been instituted:
(1) Proposed resolutions must be submitted in writing, to be received in the League
office a minimum of 30 days prior to the first day of the annual conference.
(2) Proposed resolutions will be rewritten for proper form, duplicated by the League
office and distributed to members of the Resolutions Committee at least 15 days
prior to the first day of the annual conference. (Whenever possible, multiple
resolutions on a similar issue will be rewritten to encompass the essential subject
matter in a single resolution with a listing of original proposers.)
(3) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the Resolutions Committee at
the conference; however, a favorable two-thirds vote of the committee will be
necessary to consider such resolutions.
(4) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the business session of the
conference without prior committee approval by a vote of two-thirds of the
members present. In addition, a favorable weighted vote of a majority of members
present will be required for adoption.
(5) Proposed resolutions relating to state legislation will be referred to the appropriate
standing policy committee. Such proposals will not be considered by the
Resolutions Committee at the conference; however, all state legislative issues will
be considered by the standing policy committees and the Legislative Committee,
prior to the membership, at the annual Legislative Conference each fall. At that
time, a state Legislative Policy Statement will be adopted.
Cities unable to formally adopt a resolution 30 days prior to the first day of the conference
may submit a letter to the League office indicating their city is considering the adoption of
a resolution, outlining the subject thereof in as much detail as possible, and this letter will
be forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for consideration in anticipation of receipt of
the formal resolution.

Re: Ordinance 12-2004 - Amending Chapter 80, Vehicles for Hire
City of Cape Canaveral - General
Our File No.: 513-001
Please find enclosed for your review and comment proposed ordinance 12-2004, which, in
response to the City Council's request, amends Chapter 80, regarding Vehicles for Hire. This
ordinance amends section 80-3 to clarify ceratin language regarding the annual payment of fees
and license renewals. Additionally section 80-5 is amended in response to new minimum policy
limits set forth in section 324.032, Florida Statutes. Section 324.032 was amended last year to
require for -hire passenger transportation vehicles to carry vehicle liability policies with certain
minimum limits. Finally, per the request of the Council, section 80-30 was removed from the code
altogether.
If the ordinance meets with your approval, please place the same on the next available City
Council agenda for first reading.
Very truly yours,

WHEREAS, the activities of certain commercial enterprises, that are appropriately included
within the definition of the term "adult entertainment establishment" or "sexually oriented business,"
have resulted in the necessity for additional Code provisions regulating adult entertainment
establishment and sexually oriented business activities and the activities of other similar businesses;
and
WHEREAS, failure of the City to ensure that adult entertainment activities and sexually
oriented businesses are appropriately regulated would adversely impact the City insomuch as the City
is a local government jurisdiction that is very family oriented and encourages economic and tourism
development that focuses on and derives its economic growth as a result of family oriented activities
and events; and
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 2 of 64
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to protect and preserve the unique character of City
of Cape Canaveral as a family oriented attraction for families, tourists, and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cape Canaveral is essentially a small beachside community and has
a current population of approximately 9,000 people; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cape Canaveral is a municipality that is, and desires very much to
continue to be, a community that contains and is known for traditional wholesome public
recreational activities through its parks and recreation department and along its beaches and is
proximate to family oriented theme parks such as Walt Disney World, MGM Studios, Universal
Studios, Sea World, and numerous other family vacation destinations including Port Canaveral; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the provisions contained herein are
the most reasonable and minimal restrictions required so as to regulate conduct which is or could be
adverse to public order, health, safety, morals and welfare within the City of Cape Canaveral; and
WHEREAS, the passage of this Ordinance is necessary to preserve the basic character of
the community of the City of Cape Canaveral; and
WHEREAS, although the City Council is of the opinion that this Ordinance is a general
ordinance regulating conduct and is not an ordinance that affects the use of land as contemplated by
Section 166.041(3)(c), Florida Statutes, the City Council does not wish to become sidetracked in
lengthy and expensive litigation concerning procedural matters that are not relevant to the subject
matter of this Ordinance and has, accordingly, determined to enact this Ordinance under the more
conservative, expensive, and time consuming land use procedure as well as under the general
procedure for ordinances that regulate conduct; and
WHEREAS, sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments require
special supervision from the public safety agencies of the City in order to protect and preserve the
health, safety, order and welfare of the workers and patrons of such businesses as well as the citizens
of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments are frequently used for unlawful sexual activities including, but not limited to,
prostitution and sexual liaisons of a casual nature; and
WHEREAS, the concern over sexually transmitted diseases is a legitimate health concern
of the City which demands reasonable regulation of sexually oriented businesses and adult
entertainment establishments in order to protect the health and well-being of the citizens of the City
of Cape Canaveral; and
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 3 of 64
WHEREAS, licensing is a legitimate and reasonable means of accountability to ensure that
operators of sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments comply with
reasonable regulations and to ensure that operators do not knowingly allow their establishments to
be used as places of illegal sexual activity or solicitation; and
WHEREAS, there is convincing documented evidence that sexually oriented businesses and
adult entertainment establishments, because of their very nature, can have a deleterious effect on
both the existing businesses around them and the surrounding residential areas adjacent to them as
well as other public and civic uses, causing increased crime and the downgrading of property values
and adverse impacts to economic development and tourist development programs and activities; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments, due to their nature, have serious objectionable operational characteristics,
particularly when they are located in close proximity to each other, thereby contributing to urban
blight and downgrading the quality of life in the adjacent area; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to minimize and control these adverse effects and
thereby protect the health, good order, safety and welfare of the citizenry; protect the citizens from
increased crime; preserve the quality of life; preserve the property values and character of
surrounding neighborhoods and deter the spread of urban blight; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that locational criteria alone do not adequately
protect the health, good order, safety and general welfare of the people of this City; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intent of this Ordinance to unreasonably regulate any speech
activities protected by the First Amendment, but to enact a content -neutral Ordinance which
addresses the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intent of the City Council to condone or legitimize obscene material
or any other illegal activity and the City Council recognizes that state and federal law prohibits the
distribution of obscene materials and the Council expects and encourages local and state law
enforcement officials to enforce state obscenity statutes and related statutes against any such illegal
activities in the City; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intent of this Ordinance to regulate the display of specified
anatomical areas incidental to a performance offered by a proprietary school licensed by the State
of Florida, a college, community college, university supported partly or entirely by taxation or a
private college or university which maintains and operates educational programs in which credits
are transferable to a college, community college, or university supported partly or entirely by taxation

Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 4 of 64
or in any structure owned by a governmental entity (e.g. a civic center, auditorium) when part of a
bona fide artistic display or production; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds at the effective date of this Ordinance there is
only one adult entertainment establishment or sexually oriented business lawfully operating (as a
nonconforming use) within the City of Cape Canaveral, Fairvilla Megastore which is a unique adult
retail store selling video, toys, and herbal products; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also finds that within close proximity (Cocoa Beach;
unincorporated Brevard County) to the municipal boundaries of Cape Canaveral, there exists
numerous adult entertainment establishments already operating and providing services to the public;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council also finds reliance on studies, source materials, case law and
experiences of other communities involving such establishments and businesses is reasonable and
a legitimate basis for supporting the regulations contained in this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that on an annual basis local communities, like
the City of Casselberry, Seminole County, the City of Daytona Beach, Volusia County, and local law
enforcement agencies, have expended numerous man hours licensing adult entertainment
establishments and sexually oriented businesses, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars
defending licensing decisions challenged by the adult entertainment industry (See e.g., Seminole
Entertainment v. City of Casselberry); and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that based on the experiences of the City of
Casselberry and the City of Daytona Beach, the application and licensing fees required by this
Ordinance will not cover the expected administrative costs which will be incurred by the City of
Cape Canaveral regulating adult entertainment establishments or sexually oriented businesses located
within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, therefore, finds that the annual application and licensing fee
is revenue neutral and in compliance with the court decision in Fly Fish, Inc. v. City Cocoa Beach,
337 F. 3d 1301 (11th Cir. 2003); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is consistent with
the goals, policies and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is not intended to change the M-1 industrial locational zoning
requirement for adult entertainment establishments currently codified in the City Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral hereby finds and deems that
this Ordinance is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the

Ordinance and other matters and documents relating to all of the above; and the experiences
of other Central Florida communities the City Council finds:
Sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments lend
themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities that are presently
uncontrolled or not adequately controlled by the operators of the establishments or
businesses. Further, there are presently no mechanisms or inadequate mechanisms to
make the owners of these businesses or establishments responsible for the activities
that occur on their premises.
M Certain workers of certain sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments defined in this Article engage in a higher incidence of certain types of
illicit sexual behavior than workers of other business establishments.
Sexual acts including masturbation and oral and anal sex, occur at sexually
oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments, especially those which
provide private or semi -private areas booths or cubicles for viewing films, videos, live
sex shows and those having_ physical interaction between workers and customers.
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 8 of 64
Offering and providing such private spaces encourages such previously
mentioned activities which create unhealthy conditions.
Persons frequent certain adult theaters adult arcades, and other sexually oriented
businesses and adult entertainment establishments for the purpose of euaeina in sex
within the premises of such businesses and establishments.
At least 50 communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in
sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments, including, but not
limited to syphilis tuberculosis gonorrhea human immunodeficiency virus infection
(HIV -AIDS) genital herpes hepatitis B Non A Non B amebiasis, salmonella
infections and shigella infections.
Since 1981 and to the present there has been an increasing cumulative number
of reported cases of AIDS caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the
United States - 600 in 1982 2,200 in 1983, 4,600 in 1984, 8,555 in 1985 and 733,374
through 1999.
Cumulativelythrough hrough 1999 there have been 75,539 reported cases of AIDS in
the State of Florida, which ranks third in the nation.
The CDC estimates that approximately 850,000 to 950,000 U.S. residents are
living with HIV infection.
The number of cases of early (less than oneear) syphilis in the United States
reported annually has risen with 33,613 cases reported in 1982, 45,200 through
November of 1990, and 31,575 cases reported in 2001.
The number of cases of gonorrhea in the United States reported annually remains
in a high level with over one-half million cases being reported in 1990 and 361,705
reported in 2001.
The surgeon general of the United States, in his report of October 22, 1986, has
advised the American public that AIDS and HIV infection may be transmitted through
sexual contact intravenous drug abuse, exposure to infected blood and blood
components and from an infected mother to her newborn.
According to the best scientific evidence, AIDS and HIV infection, as well as
syphilis and gonorrhea are principally transmitted by sexual acts.
Sanitatyconditions in some sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments are unhealthy, in part, because the activities conducted there are
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 9 of 64
unhealthy, and in partbecause of the unregulated nature of the activities and the
failure of owners and operators of the facilities to self -regulate those activities and
maintain those facilities.
Numerous studies and reports have determined that semen is found in the areas
of sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments where persons
view "adult" oriented films.
The findings noted in paragraphs number 1 through 15 and as set forth hereinafter
raise substantial governmental concerns.
,(17) Sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments have
operational characteristics which should be reasonably regulated in order to protect
those substantial governmental concerns.
A reasonable licensing procedure is an appropriate mechanism to place the
burden of that reasonable regulation on the owners and the operators of the sexually
oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments. Further, such a licensing
procedure will place a heretofore nonexistent incentive on the operators to see that the
business or establishment is run in a manner consistent with the good order, health,
safety and welfare of its patrons and workers as well as the citizens of the City. It is
appropriate to require reasonable assurances that the licensee is the actual operator of
the business or establishment fully in possession and control of the premises and
activities occurring therein.
Removal of doors on adult booths and requiring sufficient lighting on premises
with adult booths advances a substantial governmental interest in curbing the illegal
and unsanitary sexual activity occurring in adult theaters.
Requiring licensees of sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments to keep information regarding current workers and certain past workers
will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the
identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by preventing minors from
working at such businesses and establishments.
The disclosure of certain information by those persons ultimately responsible for
the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the sexually oriented business and adult
entertainment establishments where such information is substantially related to the
significant governmental interest in the operation of such uses, will aid in preventing
the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
It is desirable in the prevention of the spread of communicable diseases to obtain
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 10 of 64
a limited amount of information regarding certain workers who may engage in the
conduct which this Article is desi ng ed to prevent or who are likely to be witnesses to
such activity.
The fact that an applicant for an adult entertainment establishment or sexually
oriented business license has been convicted of a sexually related crime leads to the
rational assumption that the applicant may engage in that conduct in contravention of
this Article.
Commercial establishments exist or may exist within the City and other nearby
cities and counties in central Florida where adult entertainment material is possessed,
displayed exhibited distributed and/or sold for commercial purposes in the form of
books magazines periodicals or other printer material or photographs films motion
pictures prints videotapes, slides computer digital graphic recordings or other visual
representations or recordings or recordings or other audio matter, or instruments,
novelties devices or paraphernalia which depict illustrate describe or relate to
specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas.
Commercial establishments exist or may exist within the City and other nearby
cities or counties in central Florida where adult entertainment and sexually oriented
commercial activities in the form of nude semi-nude, or topless dancers, entertainers,
performers or other individuals who for commercialag in, perform or are presented
while displaying or exposing specified anatomical areas; or engage in straddle dancing
or touching with customers.
Commercial sexually oriented businesses exist or operate or may exist or operate
within the Cid or other nearby cities or counties in central Florida where sexually
oriented services are offered for commercial or pecuniary gain in the form of
commercial physical contact escort services and other services providing sexual
encounters The workers of such sexually oriented businesses operating in central
Florida engage in physical contact or touching with customers including, but not
limited to acts of prostitution or encourage or entice the customers to engage in
lewdness.
The activities occurring at sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments occur at establishments and businesses which operate primarily for the
purpose of making a profit and as such are subject to regulation by the City in the
interest of the good order, health safety, economy,property, values, morals and general
welfare of the people businesses and industries of the Cites A major industry which
is important to the community's economic welfare is tourism by persons seeking to
bring children to visit central Florida attractions and beaches who wish to stay in a
community with a family atmosphere not dominated by commercialized sexual themes.
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 11 of 64
When the activities occurring at sexually oriented businesses and adult
entertainment establishments are present in establishments and businesses, other
activities which are illegal unsafe or unhealthful tend to accompany them, concentrate
around them and be aggravated by them. Such other activities include, but are not
limited to prostitution pandering solicitation for prostitution, lewd and lascivious
behavior, exposing minors to harmful materials, possession, distribution and
transportation of obscene materials sale or possession of controlled substances, and
violent crimes against persons and property.
When the activities occurring at sexually oriented businesses and adult
entertainment establishments are competitively exploited in establishments and
businesses they tend to attract an undesirable number of transients, blight
neighborhoods adversely affect neighboring businesses, lower real property values,
promote the particular crimes described above and, ultimately, lead residents and
businesses to move to other locations.
Sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments often have
exterior signs or exterior appearance that lower the surrounding property values and
contribute to urban decline.
The activities occurring at sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments sometimes occur in establishments and businesses concurrent with the
sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages which concurrence leads to a further
increase in criminal activity, unsafe activity, and disturbances of the peace and order
of the surrounding community and creates additional hazards to the health and safety
of customers and workers and further depreciates the value of adjoining real property
harming the economic welfare of the surrounding community and adversely affecting
the quality of life commerce and community environment.
Physical contact or touching within sexually oriented businesses and adult
entertainment establishments between workers exhibiting specified anatomical areas
and customers poses a threat to the health of both and promotes the spread of
communicable and social diseases.
In order to preserve and safeguard the good order, health, morals, safety, and
general welfare of the people of the City it is necessary and advisable for the City to
regulate the conduct of owners managers,_operators, agents, workers, entertainers,
performers and customers at sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments.
The potential dangers to the good order, morals, health, safety, andeg neral
welfare of the people of the City posed by permitting a sexually oriented business or
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 12 of 64
adult entertainment establishment to berate without first meetingthe h� e requirements for
obtaining a license under this Article are so great as to require the licensure of such
establishments prior to their being permitted to operate.
Requiring operators of sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment
establishments to keep records of information concerning workers and certain recent
past workers as well as customer contracts and other matters and materials will help
reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the
identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by making, it difficult for minors
to work at or be customers in such establishments.
Prohibiting sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments
from operating within set distances of educational institutions, religious institutions,
residences areas zoned or designated for residential use, and parks at which minors are
customarily found will serve to protect minors from the adverse affects of the activities
that accompany such establishments and businesses.
Straddle dancing unregulated private performances, and enclosed adult booths
in sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments have resulted
in indiscriminate commercial sex between strangers and poses a threat to the health of
the participants and promotes the spread of communicable sexually transmitted
diseases Straddle dancing is primarily conduct rather than communication or
expression.
Workers at sexually oriented businesses and adult entertainment establishments
engage in a higher incidence of certain types of unhealthy or criminal behavior than
workers of other establishments and businesses including, but not limited to, a veru
high incidence of illegal prostitution or engaging in lewdness in violation of Chapter
796 of the Florida Statutes operation without occupational licenses and illegal and
unlicensed massage.
(39) Physical contact or touching between workers of sexually oriented businesses and
adult entertainment establishments and customers poses a threat to the health of both
and promotes the spread of communicable and sexually transmissible diseases.
The practice of not paying workers at sexually oriented businesses and requiring
them to earn their entire income from tips or gratuities from their customers who are
predisposed to want sexual activity has resulted in a high incidence of prostitution and
crimes related to lewdness by workers.
Sexually oriented businesses involve activities that are pure conduct engaged in
for the purpose of making a profit rather than speech or expressive activity and
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 13-2004
Page 13 of 64
therefore are subject to and require increased regulation to protect the health, good
order, morals, welfare and safety of the community.
Requiring sexually oriented businesses to post a listing of services provided and
restrict services to those listed as well as maintaining a customer contract and transac-
tion record in a daily register will discourage incidents of criminal behavior such as
lewdness and prostitution thereby further safeguarding the health of both workers and
customers and will assist facilitating_ the identification of potential witnesses or
suspects if criminal acts do occur.
This ordinance shall not be construed as opting out the Cit of Canaveral
from any County -wide Public Nudity law adopted by Brevard County, Florida.
Exotic dancers have expressed concerns about contact with potentially infectious
vaginal secretions left on shared props and clothing and ejaculate deposited either on
clothing or directly on parts of a dancer's body, including her own genitalia per a report
