Plano City Code Chapter 28 regulates sexually oriented businesses, requiring annual licensing, owner background checks, and strict zoning buffers from churches, schools, parks, and residential districts within city limits.
Chapter 28 of the Plano City Code requires every sexually oriented business and individual employee to obtain an annual license from the city secretary. Applicants undergo background checks, and convictions for specified offenses bar issuance for set periods. Locations must sit at least 1,000 feet from churches, schools, daycares, parks, residential zones, and other adult businesses. On-site alcohol is prohibited, hours are restricted, and viewing booths must remain visible. Inspections are routine, and license revocation follows violations. Plano grandfathered no nonconforming uses after the ordinance took effect.
Operating without a license, locating within prohibited buffers, employing unlicensed performers, or violating booth and hours rules trigger fines, license revocation, and Class A misdemeanor charges.
