Monterey Municipal Code § 22-30 Minors prohibited in billiard rooms during certain hours

a.Between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. of the following morning, no person under the age of 18 years shall enter, visit, frequent or remain in or upon any portion of a commercial premises where any game, involving the use of billiard or pool tables, billiard or pool balls and billiard or pool cue sticks is played and where liquor is sold, served or consumed on or within such portion of the premises, unless such person is accompanied by his or her parent or legal guardian. The intent of this Section is to preclude minors from being in or upon any separately definable portion of a commercial premises where billiards or pool are played, but not to preclude the minor from being in or around other portions of the premises during the prohibited hours.

b.The owner or operator of any such premises or portion thereof within the City shall post in a conspicuous place and at his own expense a sign stating that the presence of persons under the age of 18 years therein between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. when not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, is prohibited by Monterey City Code, Section 22-30.

a.The term “harmful matter” as set forth in Penal Code § 313 is hereby found to include any material that includes printed text on its cover or exterior that depicts or describes, either directly or by inference, sexual conduct in a patently offensive way.

b.No person shall display any harmful matter in any public place unless all offensive depictions or descriptions are screened from view of minors, either by devices commonly known as “blinder racks” that cover the offensive material, or by other means that effectively screen such offensive material from the view of minors. Solid cabinets accessible to adults only, separate rooms for adults only where material is not visible to minors outside this room, the sealing and covering of offensive material on covers of magazines or similar printed materials, and other similar means of effectively screening this material from the view of minors shall be acceptable in meeting this requirement.
