The City has reviewed this matter and <br /> found evidence relating to the adverse impacts of the conduct of bikini barista stands. This evidence <br /> relates to barista stands with employees dressing in a manner that is closely and customarily associated <br /> with adult entertainment or adult situations. Further,this evidence indicates that businesses providing <br /> casual food services including such things as fast food restaurants, delis, food trucks and coffee stands <br /> ("Quick Service Facilities") might easily transition to the bikini barista stand model. The City has seen <br /> that the minimalistic nature of the clothing worn by baristas at these "bikini" stands lends itself to <br /> criminal conduct. <br /> The proposed ordinance would adopt minimum dress requirements and probationary licensing <br /> regulations for quick service facilities. The ordinance would require owners of quick service facilities, <br /> including coffee stands, to enforce minimum dress requirements. Owners who violate these <br /> requirements would be required to obtain a probationary license. Two additional violations would <br /> result in a revocation of the probationary license. Violations would also constitute civil infractions. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt An Ordinance concerning the regulation of Quick Service Facilities including Barista Stands: <br /> 11 <br />
