GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 11.13.005 PURPOSE.

   It is the intent of this Chapter to prevent community-wide adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods which can be brought about by the concentration of adult use businesses in close proximity to each other or proximity to incompatible uses such as schools, religious institutions, and residentially zoned properties. The City Council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of adult use businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area, and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above can cause other businesses and residents to relocate. It is, therefore, the purpose of this Chapter to establish reasonable and uniform operational and development regulations to prevent the concentration of adult uses businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of adult use businesses in certain areas and to regulate the time, place and manner of the operation of adult uses in order to minimize the negative secondary effects associated with such uses.
