§ 3.06.010. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The City of Wichita finds that some after-hours establishments within the city contribute to public intoxication, noise, disorderly conduct, assaults, violent crime and other similar problems connected primarily with the routine congregation of persons around such after-hours establishments, especially those which are managed without adequate security and attention to preventing these problems.

    The City of Wichita finds that a significant amount of police resources are being expended to address safety issues at after-hours establishments and safety risks are abundant when City personnel are not allowed to enter the facility for safety checks on locked doors and fire suppression devices. The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate the operation of all after-hours establishments so as to minimize the negative effects and to preserve the public safety, health and welfare.
