(a) No person shall perform live entertainment for any patron of a sexually oriented business establishment, except upon a stage at least eighteen (18) inches above the level of the floor, which stage is separated by a distance of at least ten (10) feet from the nearest area occupied by any patron. No patron shall be permitted within ten (10) feet of the stage while the stage is occupied by a performer.

(c) The sexually oriented business shall provide access for performers between the stage and the dressing rooms which is completely separated from the patrons. If such separate access is not physically feasible, the sexually oriented business shall provide a minimum four (4) feet wide walk aisle for performers between the dressing room area and the stage, which walk aisle shall be equipped with a railing, fence or other barrier separating the patrons and the performers and which prevents any physical contact between patrons and performers.

(d) No performer, either before, during, or after a performance, shall have physical contact with any patron and no patron shall have physical contact with any performer either before, during, or after a performance.

(e) Fixed rails at least thirty (30) inches in height shall be maintained establishing the separations between performers and patrons.

(f) No patron shall directly pay or give any gratuity to any performer. A patron who wishes to pay or give a gratuity to a performer shall place the gratuity in a container that is, at all times, located separately from the performers for the purpose of preventing any physical contact between a patron and a performer and no performer shall solicit any gratuity from any patron.

(g) No operator of a sexually oriented business shall cause or allow a performer to engage in any entertainment such as a couch or a straddle dance with a patron while in or on the premises. No performer shall contract to or engage in a couch or straddle dance with a patron while in or on the premises. For purposes of this subsection, couch or straddle dance means an employee of the sexually oriented business intentionally touching or otherwise coming within ten (10) feet of any patron while engaged in the display or exposure of any specified anatomical area or any specified sexual activity.
