A. Purpose. The nature of adult uses is such that they are recognized as having adverse secondary characteristics, particularly when they are accessible to minors and located near residential property or related residential uses such as schools, day care centers, libraries or parks. Furthermore, the nature of adult uses requires that they not be allowed within certain zoning districts, or within minimum distances from each other or residential uses. Special regulation of adult uses is necessary to ensure that the adverse secondary effects do not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding property and lessening of its value.

1. Adult uses, either principal or accessory, shall be prohibited from locating in any building which is also utilized for residential purposes.
