Based on secondary effects studies conducted in other communities it is recognized that there are some uses which, because of their very nature, have serious secondary impacts upon adjacent residential and commercial use areas, and certain specific land uses such as schools, parks, child care facilities, public building and churches. Therefore, the Village recognizes that regulation of adult entertainment businesses is necessary to insure that adverse secondary impacts will not contribute to the blight and reduced property values. The Village of New Concord has reviewed available literature on the subject of the secondary effects of sexually-oriented businesses and determined that a sexually-oriented business shall be separated from other sensitive land uses and shall comply with the following requirements. All measurements shall be made using applicable lot lines and shall utilize a straight line representing the shortest distance between two points. Sensitive land uses listed below include those existing outside of the corporate limits.
(a) Sexually-oriented businesses shall comply with the district regulations applicable to all properties in any district in which they are located.
(b) No sexually-oriented business shall be permitted in a location which is within 1,500 feet of another sexually-oriented business.
(c) No sexually-oriented business shall be permitted in a location which is within 1,000 feet of any school, park, child care facility, public building, place or religious worship, private school, park or playground, or any social services facility or neighborhood center.
(d) No sexually-oriented business shall be permitted in a location which is within 500 feet of any residence (inside or outside of the Village) or boundary of any residential district. (Ord. K-5-94-2. Passed 5-9-94.)
