Riverside County Ordinance 671 regulates adult-oriented businesses in unincorporated areas, requiring a regulatory permit, strict zoning buffers from residences, schools, parks, and churches, and operator background checks by the Sheriff's Department.
Ordinance 671 requires every adult-oriented business operating in unincorporated Riverside County to obtain an annual regulatory permit from the County. Permitted locations are limited to specified industrial and commercial zones, with minimum buffer distances from residentially zoned property, schools, public parks, places of worship, and other adult uses. Operators and performers must submit fingerprints and undergo Sheriff's Department background screening. Ordinance 821 separately regulates off-site adult business signage and advertising. Permit denials follow specified standards designed to satisfy First Amendment scrutiny under City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres.
Operating without a permit, violating buffer rules, or employing performers without screening is a misdemeanor with permit revocation, daily fines, and possible nuisance abatement injunction.
