[Added 9-28-1987 by L.L. No. 15-1987]
Adult uses shall be allowable in the Industrial District only as a special exception by the Board of Appeals after public hearing.
A. 
Purposes and considerations.
(1) 
In the execution of this chapter, it is recognized that there are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of these uses are further heightened by their concentration in any one area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods or land uses.
(2) 
It is further declared that the location of these uses in regard to areas where our youth may regularly assemble and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great concern to the Village of Lindenhurst.
(3) 
These special regulations are itemized in this section to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area and restricting their accessibility to minors.
B. 
The adult uses as defined in § 193-1 are to be restricted as to location in the following manner in addition to any other requirements of this Code.
(1) 
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any area zoned for residential use.
(2) 
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a one-half-mile radius of another such use.
(3) 
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any school, church or other place of religious worship, park, playground or playing field.
C. 
The restrictions enumerated in Subsection B above may be waived by the Village Zoning Board of Appeals if the applicant shows and the Board finds that the following conditions have been met in addition to the general conditions contained in Article XV of this chapter.
(1) 
That the proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of this chapter will be observed.
(2) 
That the establishment of an additional use of this type in the area will not be contrary to any program of neighborhood conservation or improvement, either residential or nonresidential; and
(3) 
That 51% or more of the property owners within the restricted area, as defined in Subsection B(1) of this section, have signed a petition stating that they have no objection to the establishment of one of the uses defined above.
D. 
No more than one of the adult uses as defined above shall be located on any lot.
E. 
By amortization, the right to maintain a legal nonconforming adult use shall terminate in accordance with the following schedule:
Amount of Capital Investment* as of the Effective Date of This Chapter
Date Before Which Use Shall Terminate
0 to 5,000
January 1, 1989
5,001 to 8,000
January 1, 1990
8,001 to 15,000
January 1, 1991
15,001 to 22,000
January 1, 1992
22,001 or more
January 1, 1993
NOTES: *The term "capital investment," as used above, is defined to mean the initial outlay by the owner or operator of the use to establish the business as of the date of the enactment of this chapter, exclusive of the fair market value of the structure in which the use is located.
