A cabaret license shall be issued only for premises where food is served, facilities for dancing by the patrons including a dance floor are provided, and live or amplified recorded music or professional entertainment, except professional entertainment by a person who performs or entertains unclothed, is provided for the patrons; provided that professional entertainment by persons who perform or entertain unclothed shall be authorized by:
(1) A
cabaret license for premises where professional entertainment by persons who
perform or entertain unclothed was presented on a regular and consistent basis

commission to the contrary, cabarets in resort areas may be opened for the
