SECTION 3. That section 12-4 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 12-4. Exemption of Theatrical
Establishments.
The provisions of Sections 12-1 through and in-
cluding Section 12-3 shall not apply to a theater, concert
hall, or similar establishment which is primarily devoted to
theatrical performances.
As used in this article, and in Sections 318.5 and
318.6 of the Penal Code, the phrase "theater, concert hall,
or other similar establishment which is primarily devoted to
theatrical performances" shall mean a building, playhouse,
room, hall, or other place having permanently affixed seats
so arranged that a body of spectators can have an unobstructed
view of the stage upon which theatrical or vaudeville or
similar performances are given, and in which the serving of
alcoholic beverages is clearly incidental to such perform-
ances, and where the revenue derived from the sale of alco-
holic beverages is insubstantial when compared to all other
sources of gross revenue.
SECTION 4. That Section 12-5 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code is hereby repealed.
SECTION 5. That Section 12-6 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code is hereby repealed.
SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any
reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the
decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such deci-
sion shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa
Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordin-
ance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase
or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or
portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 7. Neither the adoption of this ordinance
nor the repeal hereby of any ordinance shall in any manner

violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof,
nor be construed as affecting any of the provisions of such
ordinance relating to the collection of any such license or
penalty or the penal provision applicable to any violation
thereof, nor to affect the validity of any bond or cash
deposit in lieu thereof, required to be posted, filed or
