1169.05 REGULATIONS FOR ADULT USES IN AN L-I LIMITED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND IN A G-I GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
The City of Macedonia has determined that permitting adult uses, as defined in this section, to be located in proximity to residential, institutional and non-adult oriented retail uses would have a detrimental effect on such adjacent uses. It has been demonstrated that adult uses, as defined in this section, have been known to cause undesirable secondary effects on residential and institutional uses, particularly those where children are present, as well as adjacent non-adult use oriented retail uses. Therefore, in order to prevent potential deterioration in Macedonia's retail area; and to avoid potential adverse impacts on residential and institutional uses particularly those where children are present, and thereby protecting the public health, safety and welfare, adult uses, as defined in this section, shall be permitted only in the L-I Limited Industrial District and the G-I General Industrial Districts subject to the following requirements and further subject to the plan review procedures pursuant to Section 1137.05.
