It has been demonstrated that various forms of adult businesses as herein defined,
possess certain objectionable operational characteristics which can have a deleterious
effect upon neighboring land uses and on areas in close proximity thereto. It has
also been demonstrated that locating certain adult entertainment businesses in the
vicinity of facilities frequented by minors, exposes minors to adult materials, which
because of the minors' immaturity may adversely affect them. In addition, it is recognized
that certain adult entertainment facilities can be detrimental to residential neighborhood
areas and can, if not properly controlled and regulated, result in the deterioration
of existing businesses in commercial areas that are the subject of current revitalization
efforts, will adversely affect such efforts by discouraging new businesses from locating
in such areas and will, in addition, adversely affect the rehabilitation of existing
commercial business within those areas. Regulation, therefore, of adult businesses
is necessary from a land use standpoint to insure that the adverse effects of such
uses will not contribute to the blighting, deterioration or the downgrading of surrounding
neighborhoods or the efforts to revitalize existing commercial areas within the unincorporated
areas of the County. It is the purpose and intent of the Board of Supervisors by the
enactment of this ordinance to prohibit the establishment of any use which qualifies
as an adult entertainment business as herein defined in any unincorporated area of
the County save and except within the established commercial-industrial districts
(C-M). It is the objective of the Board of Supervisors by this ordinance to prohibit
any such adult entertainment business from being established which may be in conflict
with the provisions of this ordinance.
