This section seeks to ensure that residential, public, family uses and pawnbrokers and delayed deposit services will be located in separate and compatible locations. It is a subject of legitimate concern for the City to ensure the quality of life and protect the property values and economic vitality of its neighborhoods.
1. Location. No person, whether as principal or agent, clerk or employee, either himself or herself or any other person, or as an officer of any corporation, or otherwise, shall place, maintain, own or operate any pawnbroker or delayed deposit service business in the following locations:
A. In any zoning district other than commercially or industrial zoned areas of the City.
B. Within one thousand feet (1,000 ft.) of any residentially zoned or used property, or any property designated on the City's comprehensive plan as residential oriented.
C. Within one thousand feet (1,000 ft.) of a church which conducts religious programs.
D. Within one thousand feet (1,000 ft.) of a children's daycare, nursery school, preschool, elementary school, junior high school or senior high school.
E. Within one thousand feet (1,000 ft.) of any park or recreational facility operated and improved by the City.
2. Measurement of Distance. The distance between any pawnbroker or delayed deposit service facilities and any daycare, school, church, public park, or any property designated for residential use or used for residential purposes shall be measured in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures, from the closest property line of the pawnbroker or delayed deposit service facility to the closest property line of any daycare, school, church, public park or any property designated for residential use or used for residential purposes.
