9-716 : Additional regulations for adult motels.

  1. Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or a similar commercial establishment has been rented and vacated two (2) or more times in a period of time that is less than ten (10) hours creates a rebuttable presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in this chapter.
  2. A person commits a misdemeanor if, as the person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or similar commercial establishment that does not have a sexually oriented license, he rents or subrents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten (10) hours from the time the room is rented, he rents or subrents the same sleeping room again.
  3. For purposes of subsection (2) of this section the terms "rent" or "subrent" mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration. (Ord. #03-04-08, April 2003)
