1164.02 MITIGATING SECONDARY EFFECTS.

   This Chapter is intended to provide for the proper location of adult entertainment uses in order to protect the integrity of adjacent neighborhoods, educational uses, religious uses, parks and other commercial uses, and the quality of urban and rural life. Proper separation of adult entertainment uses prevents the creation of “skid-row” areas in the City of Findlay that results from the concentration of these uses and their patrons. It is the intent of this Chapter to limit the secondary effects of adult entertainment uses. The standards in this Chapter are intended to ensure that residential and agricultural districts, religious uses, educational uses, parks and other commercial uses are located in areas free from the secondary effects of adult entertainment uses. The location of residential and agricultural districts, religious uses, educational uses, parks and other commercial uses within viable, unblighted and desirable areas supports the preservation of property values and promotes the health, safety and welfare of the public.
