   (A)   It shall be unlawful and a person commits a violation of this subchapter if he or she operates or causes to be operated a sexually oriented business, regardless of whether or not a permit has been issued for said business, and advertises the presentation of any activity prohibited by any applicable state statute or local ordinance.
   (B)   It shall be unlawful and a person commits a violation of this subchapter if he or she operates or causes to be operated a sexually oriented business, regardless of whether or not a permit has been issued for said business, and displays or otherwise exhibits any materials and/or performances found at such sexually oriented business in any advertising which is visible outside the premises. This prohibition shall not extend to the advertising of the existence or location of such sexually oriented business.
   (C)   All off premises signs advertising sexually oriented businesses are prohibited within the village. This prohibition shall not extend to the advertising of the existence or location of such sexually oriented business, so long as such advertising contains text only. Any sign advertisement that is in violation of this subsection is hereby declared to be a nuisance and may be abated as such.
   (D)   All on-premises signs advertising sexually oriented businesses, in addition to complying with all applicable village ordinances and regulations concerning signs, shall consist of text only.
   (E)   The permittee shall not allow any portion of the interior premises of the sexually oriented business to be visible from outside the premises.
   (F)   All off-street parking areas and premise entries of the sexually oriented business shall be illuminated from dusk to closing hours of operation with a lighting system which provides an average maintained horizontal illumination of one foot candle of light on the parking surface and/or walkways. This required lighting level is established in order to provide sufficient illumination of the parking areas and walkways serving the sexually oriented business for the personal safety of patrons and employees of the sexually oriented business and to reduce the incidence of vandalism and criminal conduct. The lighting shall be shown on the required sketch or diagram of the premises.
