(o) Sexually-oriented businesses. It has been demonstrated that the establishment of sexually-oriented businesses in Business Districts which are immediately adjacent to and which serve residential neighborhoods have a deleterious effect on both businesses and residential segments of the neighborhood, causing blight, downgrading of property values and, in some instances, increasing crime in the vicinity. The prohibition against the establishment of more than two regulated uses within 1,000 feet of each other serves to prevent the clustering of certain businesses which, when located in close proximity to each other, tend to create a skid-row atmosphere. Such prohibition fails, however, to prevent the deleterious effects of blight and the devaluation of both business and residential property values resulting from the establishment of sexually-oriented businesses in a Business District which is immediately adjacent to and which serves residential neighborhoods. The orderly planning, development and preservation of neighborhoods should be encouraged and fostered by properties and persons which comprise the business and residential segments of each neighborhood.
Sexually-oriented businesses shall be permitted only in the B-3 District, subject to the following requirements and conditions:
(1) No sexually-oriented business shall be located closer than 1,000 feet to any other sexually-oriented business.
(2) It shall be unlawful to establish any such use in a B-3 District, unless prohibition is waived upon presentation to the Clinton Township Planning Department of a validated petition requesting such waiver. Such petition shall describe the business as being of a sexually-oriented nature and shall be signed by at least fifty-one percent of those persons owning residentially-zoned property and by fifty-one percent of the occupants of any residential rental units and by fifty-one percent of those owning or conducting business within 300 feet of the proposed location. Such petition must also be signed by the legal representative of any church or school located within 300 feet of the proposed location.
(3) The site shall be located so as to abut a major thoroughfare, and all ingress and egress to the site shall be directly from such major thoroughfare.
(4) The use shall not be located within a planned shopping center, as defined in Section 1250.07.
(p) Massage parlors, subject to the following: The use shall comply with Chapter 850 of these Codified Ordinances.
(q) Other uses similar to the above.
(r) Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to any of the above-permitted uses.
(s) Pawnbrokers and tattoo parlors. It has been demonstrated that the establishment of tattoo parlors and pawnbrokers in Business Districts which are immediately adjacent to and which serve residential neighborhoods have a deleterious effect on both business and residential segments of the neighborhood, causing blight. The prohibition against the establishment of more than two regulated uses within 1,000 feet of each other serves to prevent the clustering of certain businesses which, when located in close proximity to each other, tend to create a skid-row atmosphere. Such prohibition fails, however, to prevent the deleterious effects of blight and the devaluation to both business and residential property values resulting from the establishment of such businesses in a Business District which is immediately adjacent to and serves residential neighborhoods. The orderly planning, development and preservation of neighborhoods should be encouraged and fostered by properties and persons which comprise the business and residential segments of each neighborhood.
Pawnbrokers and tattoo parlors shall be permitted only in the B-3 District, subject to the following requirements and conditions:
(1) No pawnbroker or tattoo parlor shall be located closer than 1,000 feet to any other pawnbroker or tattoo parlor.
(2) It shall be unlawful to establish any such use in a B-3 District, unless prohibition is waived upon presentation to the Clinton Township Planning Department of a validated petition requesting such waiver. Such petition shall describe the exact nature of the business and shall be signed by at least fifty-one percent of those persons owning residentially-zoned property and by fifty-one percent of the occupants of any residential rental units and by fifty-one percent of those owning or conducting business within 300 feet of the proposed location. Such petition must also be signed by the legal representative of any church or school located within 300 feet of the proposed location.
(3) The site shall be located so as to abut a major thoroughfare, and all ingress and egress to the site shall be directly from such major thoroughfare.
