(1)
Adult
regulated uses.
(a)
Purpose.
[1]
In the development and execution of this subsection, it is recognized
that there are some uses, commonly known as "adult uses" or "sexually
oriented businesses," which, because of their very nature, have serious
objectionable operational characteristics. The impacts of these objectionable
characteristics are exacerbated when several adult uses are concentrated
under certain circumstances or when one or more of them are located
in near proximity to a residential use or zone, religious assembly,
school, park, playground or public recreational area, thereby having
a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special regulation of
these uses is necessary to prevent these adverse effects and to ensure
that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or
downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. The controls contained
within this subsection are for the purpose of preventing the negative
secondary effects associated with adult uses and to prevent a concentration
of these uses within any one area, or to prevent deterioration or
blighting of a nearby residential neighborhood.
[2]
It is the purpose of this subsection to regulate sexually oriented
businesses in order to promote the health, safety, and general welfare
of the citizens of the City, and to establish reasonable and uniform
regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects of sexually
oriented businesses within the City. The provisions of this subsection
have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction
on the content or reasonable access to any communicative materials,
including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the
intent nor effect of this subsection to restrict or deny access by
adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment,
or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexually oriented
entertainment to their intended market. Neither is it the intent nor
effect of this subsection to condone or legitimize the distribution
of obscene material.
(b)
Applicability. The following adult regulated uses are subject
to these controls:
[1]
Adult arcade or mini motion-picture theaters;
[2]
Adult bookstores, adult novelty stores, or adult video stores;
[3]
Adult booths;
[4]
Adult cabarets;
[5]

Adult outdoor motion-picture theaters;

[9]
Adult physical culture businesses;

or management of the City or other unit of government.
[h]

as defined in the City Zoning Ordinance.
[2]
For purposes of the uses listed in Subsection C(1)(d)[1][a] through [f] above, the distance limitations above shall be measured in a straight line without regard to intervening structures or objects from the lot occupied by the adult regulated use to the nearest point of the lot occupied by any of the uses so listed in Subsection C(1)(d)[1][a] through [f].

[4]
No building, premises, structure, or other facility that contains any adult regulated use shall contain any other kind of adult regulated use. The Zoning Board of Appeals may grant permission for more than one adult regulated use to operate in a single building, provided that an equal or greater number of adult regulated uses are removed from elsewhere in the City. The location where an adult regulated use is removed pursuant to this section shall not be reused for any adult regulated use in the future. If the Zoning Board of Appeals grants permission for more than one adult regulated use to operate in a single building, it shall not be construed to be a violation of Subsection C(1)(d)[1][f].
