Latest version.
  • It shall be the duty of the Fire Chief and the Director of the Metropolitan Area Building Department to determine the number of persons who can safely be accommodated at any one time in any building, premises or location where any teen club or entertainment establishment is located. The Fire Chief and the Director of the Metropolitan Area Building Department shall rate and limit the occupancy of the building, premises or location and furnish a certificate thereof to the owner or operator of such teen club or entertainment establishment, which owner shall be required to post such certificate near the main exit in the building. Such owner, operator, licensee or responsible person is hereby required to limit the attendance at such teen club or entertainment establishment to such capacity as has been determined by the Fire Chief and Director of the Metropolitan Area Building Department. It shall be unlawful to post a certificate of occupancy showing a greater capacity than that shown by the Metropolitan Area Building Department and Fire Chief.

    The penalty assessed by the court for violating the premise's maximum occupancy, shall not be less than the minimum penalty required by Section 15.01.110 of the Code of the City of Wichita.
