(A) The use of property for an adult business can have potentially harmful secondary effects on the surrounding areas, and may have a deleterious effect upon the use and enjoyment of adjoining properties.
(B) Such secondary effects can include, but not be limited to, a tendency to attract an undesirable quantity and quality of transients, to affect property values adversely, to cause an increase in crime, especially prostitution, to contribute to the blighting or down-grading of the surrounding neighborhood/ area, and to encourage residents and businesses to move elsewhere.
(C) As such, all adult businesses must comply with the following location restrictions:
(1) No adult business shall be located within 1,000 feet (excluding streets, alleys and public ways) of another adult business. The distance shall be measured from property line to property line.
(2) No adult business shall be located within 1,000 feet of any residential zone, single- or multiple-family dwelling, church, school, licensed day care facility or park. The distance shall be measured from the building or structure itself within which the business is located.
