West Sacramento, CA Business Licensing & Operations: Adult Entertainment (2026)

Location. Adult entertainment uses shall be located a minimum of 600 feet from a Residential Zone and any TK-12 school, preschool, library, publicly-owned park, playground, church, synagogue or other place of worship to which the public is invited or permitted to attend.

B. Hours of Operation. Hours of operation may be designated by the Planning Commission as condition to the issuance of a Use Permit if the Planning Commission finds, based on substantial evidence presented to it, that there is a need for regulation of hours due to a specifically identified significant problem linked to the adult entertainment use. When regulating the hours of operation of an adult entertainment use, the Planning Commission shall, whenever possible, designate hours which are consistent with the hours of operation of nearby businesses which are similar in nature. If shorter hours than those of nearby businesses of a similar nature are imposed, the Planning Commission shall:

1. Identify in writing the need for such shorter hours;

2. Make a specific finding, that a less restrictive condition or requirement would not alleviate the problems imposed by the longer hours of operation of such use; and 3. Set forth the period of time after which the permit holder could seek review of the Planning Commission's designation of the hours of operation of the use.
