B. 
After considering the relevant data, recommendations of the Local Planning Agency/Citizens Advisory Board, hearing testimony from law enforcement officials and other interested parties, the City Commission adopts the following findings:
(1) 
Commercial establishments exist in close proximity to South Pasadena in St. Pete Beach, other nearby cities and counties in west central Florida where books, magazines, periodicals or other printed material or photographs, films, motion pictures, prints, videotapes, slides or other visual representations or recordings or audio matter or instruments, novelties, devices or paraphernalia which depict, illustrate, describe or relate to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas are possessed, displayed, exhibited, distributed and/or sold.
(2) 
Commercial establishments may seek to locate within the city and already exist in other nearby cities or counties in west central Florida where dancers, entertainers, performers or other individuals, for commercial gain, perform or are presented while displaying or exposing specified anatomical areas or engage in straddle dancing or touching with customers.
(3) 
The activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur at establishments which operate for the purpose of making a profit and, as such, are subject to regulation by the city in the interest of the health, safety, economy, property values and general welfare of the people, businesses and industries of the city.
(4) 
When the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) are present in establishments, other activities which are illegal, unsafe or unhealthful tend to accompany them, concentrate around them and be aggravated by them. Such other activities include, but are not limited to, prostitution, pandering, solicitation for prostitution, lewd and lascivious behavior, exposing minors to harmful materials, possession, distribution and transportation of obscene materials, sale or possession of controlled substances and violent crimes against persons and property.
(5) 
When the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) are competitively exploited in establishments, they tend to attract an undesirable number of transients, blight neighborhoods, adversely affect neighboring businesses, lower real property values, promote the particular crimes described in Subsection B(4) and ultimately lead residents and businesses to move to other locations.
(6) 
The establishments in which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur often are constructed, in part or in whole, of substandard materials, maintained in a manner reflecting disregard for the health and safety of the occupants and have exterior signs or appearance that lower the surrounding property values and contribute to urban decline.
(7) 
The activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) often occur in establishments concurrent with the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
(8) 
The concurrence of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages with the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) leads to a further increase in criminal activity, unsafe activity and disturbances of the peace and order of the surrounding community.
(9) 
The concurrence of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages with the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) creates additional hazards to the health and safety of persons in attendance and further depreciates the value of adjoining real property harming the economic welfare of the surrounding community and adversely affecting the quality of life, tone of commerce and community environment.
(10) 
In order to preserve and safeguard the health, safety, property values and general welfare of the people and businesses of the city, it is necessary and advisable to regulate the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at establishments where the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur.
(11) 
Employees of establishments at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur engage in a higher incidence of certain types of unhealthy or criminal behavior than employees of other establishments.
(12) 
Physical contact or touching within establishments at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur between employees exhibiting specified anatomical areas and customers poses a threat to the health of both and promotes the spread of communicable and social diseases.
(13) 
In order to preserve and safeguard the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the city, it is necessary and advisable for the city to regulate the conduct of owners, managers, operators, agents, employees, entertainers, performers and customers at establishments where the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur.
(14) 
The potential dangers to the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the city posed by permitting an establishment at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur to operate without first meeting the requirements for obtaining a license under this code are so great as to require the licensure of such establishments prior to their being permitted to operate.
(15) 
Requiring operators of establishments at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur to keep a list of information concerning current employees and certain recent past employees will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by preventing minors from working in such establishments.
(16) 
Prohibiting establishments at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur from operating within set distances of educational institutions, religious institutions, residences, areas designated for residential use and parks, at which minors are customarily found, will serve to protect minors from the adverse affects of the activities that accompany such establishments.
(17) 
Straddle dancing, unregulated private performances and enclosed adult booths in establishments at which the activities described in Subsection B(1) and (2) occur have resulted in indiscriminate commercial sex between strangers and poses a threat to the health of the participants and promotes the spread of communicable sexually transmitted diseases. Straddle dancing is primarily conduct rather than communication or expression.
C. 
The City Commission has determined that at present there are no adult use establishments operating in South Pasadena and therefore no amortization period for nonconforming uses is necessary.
D. 
The City Commission recognizes that as adult uses, as defined herein, affect surrounding sites in a deleterious manner, particularly when several adult uses are concentrated, special regulation of these uses in necessary to ensure that these effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood.
E. 
The City Commission has determined that adult uses should be dispersed rather than concentrated and finds that a minimum distance of three hundred (300) feet between adult uses serves an important function in preventing the concentration of adult uses.
F. 
Requirements greater than three hundred (300) feet between adult and certain other land uses would not provide a sufficient area in which adult uses could be located and constitutional strictures be met. The City Commission, therefore, finds that the three-hundred-foot distance requirement is a reasonable balance between the concern for the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens and a need to provide a sufficient area for adult uses to be located.
G. 
The City Commission has determined that this chapter is necessary to prevent crime, protect the city's retail trade, maintain property values and protect and preserve the quality of neighborhoods and commercial districts and the quality of urban life.
