To recognize the adverse secondary impacts of adult uses that
affect health, safety and general welfare concerns of the Borough.
These secondary impacts have been documented in research conducted
across the nation. These secondary impacts typically include, but
are not limited to, increases in criminal activity, increases in activities
that increase the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases,
increases in activities that increase the risk of transmission of
other communicable diseases, increases in blight, decreases in the
stability of residential neighborhoods, and decreases in property
values for surrounding homes, and decreases in the marketability of
nearby commercial business space. The research conducted across the
nation concludes that adult uses typically involve insufficient self-regulation
to control these secondary effects.
