[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Elmsford 9-27-2004
by L.L. No. 9-2004. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Elmsford hereby finds that adult-oriented
businesses have been expanding into suburban municipalities and into urban
areas that have not previously been home to such businesses. The Board of
Trustees of the Village of Elmsford further finds that certain adult-oriented
business activities, by their nature, have serious objectionable operational
characteristics which can lead to a significant impact on the surrounding
community. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Elmsford hereby further
finds that adult-oriented businesses tend to concentrate or cluster within
neighborhoods and, where such adult-oriented businesses are highly concentrated,
they have been found to have negative secondary effects, including negative
effects on commercial activity, incidence of crime, property values, community
character and quality of life. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Elmsford
further finds that the unrestrained proliferation of such businesses is inconsistent
with existing development and future plans for the Village of Elmsford in
that they often result in influences on the community which increase the crime
rate and undermine the economic, moral, and social welfare of the community.
Further, the location of these uses may be in areas where youth may regularly
assemble, and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great
concern to the Village of Elmsford. The purpose of this chapter is to prevent
the unrestricted proliferation of such businesses and to ensure that the effects
of such businesses will not adversely affect the health, safety and economic
well-being of the community by enacting criteria for the establishment of
adult entertainment uses in the Village.
