[Ord. No. 30-92]
The Borough of Keyport has given due consideration to the character
of the Borough as a whole and makes the following findings:
The Borough of Keyport is a small, completely developed and
to a great extent a bedroom community. The commercial areas of the
community are not isolated from the residential areas and are limited
in size, location and space, with commercial activities designed to
serve the needs of residential customers rather than transient traffic.
Said commercial areas are in relatively close proximity to the primary
and secondary schools, child-care centers, the churches in the Borough
and the other community-oriented activities within the Borough. Pedestrian
traffic using the sidewalks in the commercial areas of the Borough
is for the most part made up of residents of the Borough, including
substantial numbers of primary and secondary school children going
to and from a school, as well as shoppers at the retail commercial
establishments. Moreover, the Borough Council is further of the opinion
that public indecency would have a direct harmful impact upon the
health, safety, welfare, and order of not only the adult residents
of the Borough but also the children within the Borough.
