(a) No person who has been convicted of, is convicted of, has pleaded guilty to, or pleads guilty to either a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense and has been classified as a sexual predator shall establish a residence or occupy residential premises within 1,000 feet of any school premises, and 1,500 feet of any preschool, daycare, public park, library, church, or public pool that is located within the Village or surrounding communities that would infringe upon the distance limitations stated above.
(b) If a person to whom subsection (a) hereof applies violates subsection (a) hereof by establishing a residence or occupying residential premises within 1,000 feet of any school premises, and 1,500 feet of any preschool, daycare, public park, library, church or public pool that is located within the Village or surrounding communities that would infringe upon the distance limitations stated above, the Law Director has a cause of action for injunctive relief against the person. The Village shall not be required to prove irreparable harm in order to obtain the relief.
(c) The Village adopts the provisions of the law of Ohio now or hereafter in effect concerning the definition, determination, registration, or classification of a person who has been convicted of, is convicted of, has plead guilty to or pleads guilty to either a sexually oriented offense that is not a registration-exempt sexually oriented offense or a child-victim oriented offense and has been classified as a sexual predator.
(d) Council finds that because children are especially vulnerable to being victims of sexually abusive behavior, kidnaping, and abduction, and are likely to be present a significant amount of time on or near school premises, preschools, daycares, public parks, libraries, churches and public pools that certain persons who have been convicted of, or have plead guilty to, a sexually oriented offense or a child-victim offense and classified as a sexual predator must not establish a residence or occupy residential premises within 1,000 feet of any school premises, and 1,500 feet of any preschool, daycare, public park, library, church or public pool.
(e) Council adopts the determinations and intent of the Ohio General Assembly as articulated in Ohio R.C. 2950.02.
