This section is included in your selections.

The purpose of this part is to prevent community-wide adverse secondary effects that can be brought about by: (1) the concentration of sexually oriented businesses; (2) the close proximity of sexually oriented businesses to incompatible uses such as schools for minors, religious institutions, parks, and residential uses; and (3) the unregulated operation of sexually oriented businesses. These adverse secondary effects include, but are not limited to: depreciation of property values; increased vacancy rates in residential and commercial areas; increased criminal activity; increased litter, noise, and vandalism; and interference with the enjoyment of residential property in the vicinity of such businesses. These regulations apply to adult-oriented businesses as defined in Chapter 20.88 CMC (Definitions). (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
