Purpose and Intent.
The City Council finds that "Sexually Oriented Businesses" as described in this ordinance, because of their very nature, are recognized as having objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated geographically under certain circumstances, thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas and increasing law enforcement problems. The City Council further finds that specific regulation of these businesses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods, endanger public safety, or decrease the value of surrounding properties. These conditions are established to prevent the concentration or clustering of these businesses in any one area of the City and to restrict their proximity to residential areas, schools, churches, parks, and other public facilities. All distances specified in this section shall be measured in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, from the property line of any sexually oriented business to the nearest property line of any other sexually oriented business, school, church, public facility, residential district, or other land use facility specified herein.
The provisions of this section have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is not the intent nor effect of this section to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexually oriented entertainment to their intended market. Neither is it the intent nor effect of this section to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material.

a. Any residential zoning district, or any residential use;
b. Public or private school having a pre-school or kindergarten curriculum or any one (1) or more of grades one (1) through twelve (12);
c. Public park or playground;
d. Church or noncommercial establishment owned or operated by a bona fide religious organization;
2. The sexually oriented business shall not be located closer than one thousand (1,000) feet from any other sexually oriented business.
3. The sexually oriented business shall exclude from its premises persons less than eighteen (18) years of age.

5. No materials depicting specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas shall be visible from the exterior of the sexually oriented business.
6. All off-street parking areas and premise entries of the sexually oriented businesses shall be illuminated from dusk to closing hours of operation with a lighting system which provides an average maintained horizontal illumination of one (1) foot candle of light on the parking surface and/or walkways. This required lighting level is established in order to provide sufficient illumination of the parking areas and walkways serving the sexually oriented businesses for the personal safety of patrons and employees.
7. It shall be unlawful to operate, permit, or cause to be operated a sexually oriented business between the hours of one a.m. and six a.m. of any particular day.
