Kaysville Council might restrict sex businesses
The change is a minor one, says city manager John Thacker.
But it would allow the city to deny a business license to an applicant who had a plea held in abeyance for certain disqualifying crimes, he said, such as prostitution, dissemination of obscenity, possession of child pornography or possession of a controlled substance.
A plea held in abeyance means a judge gives a defendant time to comply with certain conditions in exchange for a lesser consequence, such as amending or dismissing a charge, according to the Utah State Courts Web site.
Currently, the city may deny a license only if the applicant was convicted of a disqualifying crime.
The amendment is one of the changes Clearfield made to its ordinance on sexually oriented businesses in April after the city was forced to grant a business license to an escort service.
Clearfield could have denied the license because the applicant had a plea held in abeyance for a disqualifying crime in Weber County.
Clearfield made other changes, including the ability to deny a license if the applicant was denied in other cities.
Kaysville currently has no sexually oriented businesses, Thacker said, adding that the city isn't in a position to ban such businesses, only to regulate them.
The Kaysville City Council meets Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Kaysville City Municipal Center, located at 23 E. Center Street.
