Adult uses shall be allowable in an Industrial
1 District pursuant to the following:
A. Purposes and considerations.
(1)
In the execution of this chapter it is recognized
that there are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious
objectionable characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of
these uses are further heightened by their concentration in any one
area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special
regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse
effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the
surrounding neighborhoods or land uses.
(2)
It is further declared that the location of
these uses in regard to areas where our youth may regularly assemble
and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great
concern to the Town of Islip.
(3)
These special regulations are itemized in this
section to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration
of these uses in any one area and restricting their accessibility
to minors.
B. Definitions. As used in this ordinance, the following
