(a) In the preparation and enactment of this section, it is recognized that there are some uses which, because of their very nature, have serious operational characteristics, which characteristics have a deleterious effect upon residential, office and commercial areas. The regulation of the location of these uses is necessary to ensure that the adverse effects of such uses will not cause or contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the City's residential neighborhoods and commercial centers. It is the intent of this section to provide reasonable regulations for the establishment of these uses in a viable, accessible location where the adverse impact of their operations may be minimized.
(b) No adult business shall be permitted within a one-thousand (1,000) foot radius of an existing adult business. Measurement of the one-thousand (1,000) foot radius shall be made from the outermost boundaries of the lot or parcel upon which the proposed adult use will be situated.
(c) No adult business shall be permitted within a four-hundred-fifty (450) foot radius of a residential district, school, library, park, playground, licensed day care center, as defined in Act 116 of the Public Acts of 1973, as amended (MCLA 722.111 et seq.), church, convent, monastery, synagogue or similar place of worship. Measurement of the four-hundred-fifty (450) foot radius shall be made from the outermost boundaries of the lot or parcel upon which the proposed adult use will be situated.
(d) The provisions of this Zoning Code regarding massage parlors shall not apply to hospitals, sanitariums, nursing homes, medical clinics or the offices of a physician, surgeon, chiropractor, osteopath, psychologist, clinical social worker or family counselor who is licensed to practice his or her respective profession in the State, or who is permitted to practice temporarily under the auspices of an associate or an establishment duly licensed in the State, or to certified members of the American Massage and Therapy Association and certified members of the International Myomassethics Federation.
