Division 88. SPECIAL LAND USES |
Chapter 88-12. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES |
§ 88-12.202. Intent and purpose.
Adult entertainment businesses, because of their nature, are recognized as having objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances, thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Regulation of the location of these businesses is necessary to insure that their adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods. The primary purpose of this chapter is to prevent the concentration or clustering of these businesses in any one area.
