Other cities such as Santa Maria, California, have chosen licensing as their <br />primary approach to regulating adult businesses. Licensing approaches have been <br />adopted in order to maintain certain minimum standards at places of adult entertain- <br />ment. The licensing mechanism is designed to regulate entertainment businesses <br />which also provide food, alcoholic beverages or exhibition of the human body. <br />Licensing outlines required performance standards and sets fees and required deposits <br />as guarantees of compliance with the standard. <br />ADULT ENTERTAINMENT IN AMARILLO <br />Several businesses in Amarillo cater either wholly or partially to the <br />adult -only market. The attached map, LOCATION OF ADULT ENTERTAINMENT IN AMARILLO, <br />illustrates the general location of the majority of businesses whose <br />activities include catering to the adult -only market. As the attached <br />map indicates, adult businesses in Amarillo have generally tended to congregate <br />into several areas in a strip fashion along major thoroughfares. <br />The Amarillo Police Department in a statistical analysis of street crimes <br />(rape, robbery, all assaults, theft from persons, auto burglary, driving under the <br />influence, public intoxication, vandalism and illegal weapons) found that the <br />incidence of street crimes was significantly greater around the concentrations of <br />adult -only businesses than the overall City average. The Police Department went <br />further in their analysis and noted that these street crimes were 2-1/2 times the <br />City average in the immediate vicinity of alcohol only adult businesses, and 1-1/2 <br />times the City average immediately surrounding businesses featuring alcohol and <br />semi-nude entertainment. In reviewing these facts relative to crime in the vicinity <br />of adult businesses, the reader should be aware that adult -only establishments, <br />especially alcohol only lounges, have tended to concentrate in several areas <br />while lounges featuring semi-nude entertainment are fewer in number and have <br />tended to somewhat isolate themselves from other adult -only establishments. <br />-g EVER00329 <br />
