It is unlawful for any pawnbroker to keep or maintain his pawnbroker business in the same room or rooms with any other business whatsoever unless prior approval of the police department has been first obtained. The partition walls separating the pawnbroker’s business from other places of business must be of solid material, and all connecting doors or other openings must be securely closed and locked at all times. Gratings, lattice or similar open work or contrivance will not be sufficient partition under the provisions of this chapter. Patrons must enter and take their exit from all pawnbrokers’ places of business through outside doors or entrances. (Ord. 10/28/2003O-12 (part); Ord. 12-09-97R (part))
