[Zoning Regs. §12A.010; Ord. No. 1014 §3, 6-12-1998]
A. The
purpose of District "AE" is to identify and prescribe specific requirements
and conditions for the location of certain defined adult entertainment
activities. The district is designed as an overlay district in a certain
zoning district based on the regional character of the activities.
Adult entertainment establishments are hereby acknowledged to have
special characteristics and impacts upon the surroundings and upon
the use and enjoyment of adjacent property. It is the intent of these
regulations to provide for the confinement of adult entertainment
establishments to those areas in which these special impacts are judged
to be least disruptive to the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties.
Adult entertainment uses do not occur on a frequent basis and require
separate and specifically designed regulations for their development.
These regulations are further intended to require that adult entertainment
establishments shall not be permitted to locate in such concentration
that their operational features may establish the dominant character
of the district. The location of such uses has an additional and deleterious
effect upon adjacent areas and could contribute to the blighting and
downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. Adult entertainment uses
are recognized as having serious objectionable operational characteristics,
particularly if several such uses are concentrated, thereby having
a deleterious effect upon adjacent areas and could contribute to blight
and degradation of the surrounding neighborhood.
B. These
regulations are further intended to protect and balance lawful rights
of expression with other lawful rights to the enjoyment and use of
property. Special regulation of adult entertainment establishments
is necessary to insure that the adverse affect of such uses will not
contribute to the blighting or downgrading of surrounding neighborhoods
whether residential or non-residential by location or concentration
to insure the stability of such neighborhoods.
