§ 14-5. Nightclub districts special requirements.
(a)
Nightclubs in nightclub districts, and nightclub entertainment promoters that operate with nightclubs in nightclub districts must coordinate their safety plans with the other nightclubs, or promoters in the district, and with the security office of the nightclub district's common area to include coordinated response and safety joint plans for the jointly accessed common areas on the private property on which they are situate.
(b)
The safety plan must include the procedures and protocols for notifying the district's common area security team when an individual district drinking place or nightclub has required a patron to leave the business under threat of trespass, so that the patron may be delivered to the jurisdiction of the district's common area security team to escort the patron from the district's premises. Drinking places, nightclubs or promoters in a nightclub district that fail to coordinate their safety plans with the other nightclubs and the nightclub district's common security forces in the district may not operate or offer entertainment activities.
(c)
Nightclubs and nightclub district's common security forces subject to this ordinance shall require that all employees review the operator's or promoter's plan. The plan shall be made available upon request by the police, security staff, patrons or neighborhood residents.
