§ 4.60. Adult-oriented establishments.  


Latest version.
  • 4.60.01. Because adult-oriented establishments have a deteriorating effect on property values, create higher crime rates in the area, create traffic congestion, and depress nearby residential neighborhood conditions, these activities will only be permitted when minimum conditions can be met.

    A.

    The following minimum conditions must be complied with for a site to be approved for adult entertainment activities:

    1.

    The site shall be not less than one thousand (1,000) feet from any residentially zoned property at the time of approval for an adult entertainment activity.

    2.

    The site shall be not less than one thousand (1,000) feet from the site of any public amusement or entertainment activity, including, but not limited to, the following: arcades, motion picture theaters, bowling alleys, marinas, golf courses, playgrounds, ice skating or roller skating rinks or arenas, zoos, community centers and similar amusements offered to the general public. "Amusement or entertainment activities" in this section shall not include adult-oriented establishments, and shall not reduce the distance requirements otherwise dictated by this section.

    3.

    The site shall be not less than one thousand (1,000) feet from any area devoted to public recreation activity.

    4.

    The site shall be not less than one thousand (1,000) feet from any school, library, day care center, park, church, mortuary or hospital.

    5.

    The site shall be not less than one-half (½) mile from any other adult entertainment business site.

    6.

    Measurement shall be made from the nearest recorded property line of the lot on which the adult-oriented establishment is situated to the nearest property line or boundary of the above mentioned uses, measuring a straight line on the county zoning map.

    7.

    The site shall be located on a designated arterial or collector street facility.

    8.

    Off-street parking: As regulated in section 3.50, "Off-street parking," of this resolution.

    B.

    Maps showing existing land use and zoning within one-half (½) mile of the proposed site should be submitted with an application for use-on-review approval along with site plans, surveys or other such special information as might reasonably be required by the planning commission for use in making a thorough evaluation of the proposal.
