To include Escort Services within the definitions of, and regulations for, Adult Entertainment regulated uses. During the course of public hearings on the adult enter- tainment regulations, it came to the attention of the Plan- ning Advisory Board that escort services were being operated in the City, which paralleled similar activities within the scope of adult entertainment. There appear to be two distinctive types of escort service: one which regularly has escorts on the premises to provide individuals with companions, and the other which has no escorts on premises but is a telephone referral operation. The amendment as proposed is to regulate both types of escort services. Approval. Approval (see attached draft Resolution) Deferred March 2, 1977 by a 7-0 vote.
