It is the intent of this article to prevent community wide adverse economic impacts,
increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods
which can be brought about by the concentration of sexually oriented businesses in
close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools
for minors, churches, and residentially zoned districts or uses. The City Council
finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration
of sexually oriented businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in
the area, and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above
can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the
purpose of this article to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent
the concentration of sexually oriented businesses or their close proximity to incompatible
uses, while permitting the location of sexually oriented businesses in certain areas.
