The unlimited operation of an adult business can, by reason of its intended use, facilitate secondary effects including, but limited to, prostitution, disorderly conduct, performance of sexual acts or conduct in public, traffic congestion and parking problems. Insofar as the city has a substantial government interest in preserving character and preventing deterioration of its neighborhoods and minimizing the disruptive effect of such adult businesses on neighborhoods, the following limitations on operation times have been propounded: live adult entertainment (performances) shall only be allowed during the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. the following day. No operator, employee or agent of an adult business shall allow any type of “live adult entertainment” during any other times. The time referred to be either central standard time or central daylight savings time, whichever is in effect at the time in the city of Carlinville, Illinois.
