[Added by L.L. No. 6-1980]
A. Purposes. Buildings and establishments operated as
adult uses are detrimental and harmful to the health, safety, morals
and general welfare of a community. In order to promote the health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the residents of the Village
of Angola, this section is intended to restrict adult uses to nonresidential,
nonbusiness and noncommercial areas of the Village and to otherwise
regulate their operation. Moreover, in that the operational characteristics
of adult uses increase the deleterious impact on a community when
such uses are concentrated, this section is intended to promote the
health, safety, morals, general welfare, and good order of the residents
of the Village of Angola by regulating the concentration of such uses.
B. Restrictions affecting adult uses. Adult uses, including
but not limited to adult bookstores, adult motion-picture theaters,
adult mini-motion-picture theaters, and adult entertainment cabarets,

of another existing adult use.

of a preexisting school or place or worship.

except the Industrial District.

agent for the purpose of managing or controlling or collecting rents
or any other person managing or controlling a building or premises,

(2) It is a violation of this section for the owner or
person in control of any property to establish or operate thereon
or to permit any person to establish or operate thereon an adult use
without having properly registered said adult use with the Village
Clerk.
D. Display of registration. The owner, manager or agent
of a registered adult use shall display in a conspicuous place on
the premises of the adult use a copy of the registration filed with
the Village Clerk.
E. Prohibition regarding public observation. No adult
use shall be conducted in any manner that permits the observation
of any material depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual
activities or specified anatomical areas from any public way or from
