The nature of adult uses is such that they are recognized as having adverse <br />secondary characteristics, particularly when they are accessible to minors and located near <br />residential property or related residential uses such as schools, day care centers, libraries or <br />parks. Furthermore, the concentration of adult uses has an adverse effect upon the use and <br />enjoyment of adjacent areas. The nature of adult uses requires that they not be allowed <br />within certain zoning districts, or within minimum distances from each other or residential <br />uses. Special regulation of adult uses is necessary to ensure that the adverse secondary effects <br />would not contribute or enhance criminal activity in the area of such uses nor will it contribute <br />to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding property and lessening of its value. <br />(2) Generally. Adult uses as defined in this chapter shall be subject to the following general <br />provisions: <br />a. Activities classified as obscene are not permitted and are prohibited. <br />b. Adult uses, either principal or accessory, shall be prohibited from locating in any <br />building that is also utilized for residential purposes. <br />C. Adult uses, either principal or accessory, shall be prohibited from locating in any place <br />that is also used to dispense or consume alcoholic beverages. <br />d. An adult use that does not qualify as an accessory use pursuant to subsection (d)(1) of <br />this section, shall be classified as an adult use - principal. <br />(3) Adult uses - principal. <br />a. Adult use - principal shall be located at least 1,000 radial feet, as measured in a straight <br />line from the closest point of the property line of the building upon which the adult use <br />- principal is located to the property line of: <br />1. Residentially zoned property; <br />2. A licensed day care center; <br />3. A public or private educational facility classified as an elementary, junior high or <br />senior high; <br />4. A public library; <br />5. A public park; <br />6. Another adult use - principal; <br />7. An on -sale liquor establishment; or <br />8. Any religious organization. <br />b. No adult use - principal shall be located in the same building or upon the same <br />property as another adult use - principal. This limitation does not apply to any <br />business or establishment that contains more than one adult use - principal as of <br />December 16, 1990; any such business or establishment that is required to terminate <br />its location pursuant to this section is not prohibited from operating the same adult <br />uses - principal that were in existence as of December 16, 1990, at any new location <br />in the city where adult uses - principal are otherwise lawful under this Code. <br />C. Adult use - principal shall adhere to the following signing regulations. <br />1. Sign messages shall be generic in nature and shall only identify the type of <br />business that is being conducted. <br />2. Sign messages shall not contain material classified as advertising. <br />3. Signs shall comply with the requirements of size and number for the district in <br />which they are located. <br />d. Adult use - principal shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight for its hours of <br />operation. A differing time schedule may be approved by the zoning administrator, <br />Page 76 of 160 <br />
