Certain areas of the city shall be designated as and identified to be anti-prostitution emphasis areas based on the repeat incidents of prostitution activities occurring therein, and enhanced penalties shall be applied in event of conviction of unlawful acts of prostitution, prostitution loitering, permitting prostitution or pandering, or patronizing a prostitute, within the said areas. The areas to be so designated shall be identified by the city council in a resolution passed after consultation with the city manager, city attorney and the chief law enforcement officer of the city, and the list identifying such areas shall be kept on file in the office of the city clerk. Additional areas may also be identified by the judge of the municipal or district court hearing prostitution cases arising from within the city. If a defendant is convicted of prostitution or a prostitution-related case occurring from within an area designated as an anti-prostitution emphasis area, a condition or term of sentence, deferral, or suspension shall be that such defendant shall stay out of all areas of the city designated as anti-prostitution emphasis areas, unless there are significant and substantial extenuating circumstances in the defendant’s particular case justifying avoidance of the requirement for such condition or term of sentence, deferral, or suspension. In such case, the significant and substantial extenuating circumstances shall be identified and recited in the record of the case. (Ord. 5682 § 1, 2002.)
