(a) In preparation and enactment of this Section, it is recognized that there are some uses, which, because of their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics which have a deleterious effect upon residential, office, and commercial areas. Regulation of the locations of these uses is necessary to ensure the adverse effects of such businesses will not cause or contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the Municipality'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 Smoking Paraphernalia Shop shall be located in the Central Business District (C-3).
(c) No Smoking Paraphernalia Shop as defined herein shall be permitted within a 500-foot radius of an existing Smoking Paraphernalia Shop. Measurement of the 500-foot radius shall be made from the outer most boundaries of the lot or parcel upon which the proposed use will be situated.
(d) No Smoking Paraphernalia Shop shall be located within 500-foot radius of any school, library, park, playground, licensed group day-care center, or church, monastery, synagogue, or similar place of worship. Measurement of the 500-foot radius shall be made from the outer most boundaries of the lot or parcel upon which the proposed use will be situated.
