(A) General. In the development and execution of these regulations, it is recognized that there are some uses which, because of their very nature, are recognized as having serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. These special regulations are itemized in this section. The primary control or regulation is for the purpose of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area.
(B) Setbacks.
(1) None of the following permitted uses may be established, operated, or maintained within 1,000 feet of a residential dwelling, a residential district, a church, a school meeting all the requirements of the Compulsory Education Laws of the state, or a public park, as measured from the closest point of the property lines:

(j) Any use which has as a part of its operation adult entertainment or amusement including, but not limited to, a restaurant or eating place, a bar, lounge, or tavern; and

(2) No more than one adult use may be established, operated, or maintained within 2,500 feet of another adult use as measured from the closest point of the outside wall of the building or tenant space.
(3) The 1,000-foot restriction provided for in division (B)(1) above may be waived and a conditional use permit issued upon proper application if the county finds that:
(a) The proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of these regulations will be observed;
(b) The proposed use will not enlarge or encourage the development of a skid row area; and
(c) All applicable regulations will be observed.
