Chapter 5.20 SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES

A. Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to regulate sexually oriented businesses and related activities to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of Josephine County, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious location and concentration of sexually oriented businesses within the unincorporated areas of Josephine County. The provisions of this chapter 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 chapter to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by state or federal constitutional provisions, 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 chapter to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene materials.

B. Findings. Based on evidence concerning the adverse secondary effects of adult uses on the community presented in hearings and in reports made available to the Board of Commissioners, and on findings incorporated in the cases of City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, Inc., 535 U.S. 425 (2002); City of Erie v. Pap’s A.M., 529 U.S. 277 (2000); Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991); City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986); Arcara v. Cloud Books, Inc., 478 U.S. 697, (1986); Iacobucci v. City of Newport, KY, 479 U.S. 92 (1986); Young v. American Mini Theatres, 427 U.S. 50 (1976); California v. LaRue, 409 U.S. 109 (1972); United States v. O’Brien, 391 U.S. 367 (1968); DLS, Inc., v. City of Chattanooga, 107 F.3d 403 (6th Cir. 1997); Key, Inc., v. Kitsap County, 793 F.2d 1053 (9th Cir. 1986); Hang On, Inc., v. City of Arlington, 65 F.3d 1248 (5th Cir. 1995); South Florida Free Beaches, Inc., v. City of Miami, 734 F.2d 608 (11th Cir. 1984); and N.W. Enterprises v. City of Houston, 27 F. Supp. 2d 754 (S.D. Tex. 1998), as well as studies conducted in other cities including, but not limited to, Phoenix, Arizona; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Houston, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Amarillo, Texas; Garden Grove, California; Los Angeles, California; Whittier, California; Austin, Texas; Seattle, Washington; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Cleveland, Ohio; and Beaumont, Texas; and findings reported in the Final Report of the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography (1986), the Report of the Attorney General’s Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses (June 6, 1989, State of Minnesota), and statistics obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Board of Commissioners finds that:

1. Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities that are presently uncontrolled by the operators of the establishments. Further, there is presently no mechanism to make owners of these establishments responsible for the activities that occur on their premises.

2. Crime statistics show that all types of crimes, especially sex-related crimes, occur with more frequency in neighborhoods where sexually oriented businesses are located.

3. Sexual acts, including masturbation, and oral and anal sex, occur at sexually oriented businesses, especially those which provide private or semi-private booths or cubicles for viewing films, videos, or live sex shows.

4. Offering and providing such booths and/or cubicles encourages such activities, which creates unhealthy conditions.

5. Persons frequent certain adult theaters, adult arcades, and other sexually oriented businesses, for the purpose of engaging in sex within the premises of such sexually oriented businesses.

6. At least 50 communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in sexually oriented businesses including, but not limited to, syphilis, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV-AIDS), genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B amebiasis, salmonella infections, and shigella infections.

7. As of December 31, 2003, the total estimated number of reported cases of AIDS in the United States caused by the immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was 929,985.

8. As of December 31, 2003, there have been 5,599 reported cases of AIDS in the state of Oregon.

9. The total number of cases of genital chlamydia trachomatis infections in the United States reported in 2002 was 834,555, a six and one-half percent increase over the year 2001.

10. The total number of cases of early latent syphilis in the United States reported during 2002 was 8,429.

11. The number of cases of gonorrhea in the United States reported annually remains at a high level, with a total of 351,852 cases reported during 2002.

12. The Surgeon General of the United States in his report of October 22, 1986, advised the American public that AIDS and HIV infection may be transmitted through sexual contact, intravenous drug use, exposure to infected blood and blood components, and from an infected mother to her newborn.

13. According to the best scientific evidence available, AIDS and HIV infection, as well as syphilis and gonorrhea, are principally transmitted by sexual acts.

14. Sanitary conditions in some sexually oriented businesses are unhealthy, in part, because the activities conducted there are unhealthy, and, in part, because of the unregulated nature of the activities and the failure of the owners and operators of the facilities to self-regulate those activities and maintain those facilities.

15. Numerous studies and reports have determined that bodily fluids, including semen and urine, are found in the areas of sexually oriented businesses where persons view “adult” oriented films.

16. Nude dancing in adult establishments encourages prostitution, increases sexual assaults, and attracts other criminal activity.

17. Nude dancing in adult establishments increases the likelihood of drug-dealing and drug use.

18. Alcohol consumption in adult establishments increases the likelihood of crime, illegal drug use, and illegal sexual activity, and encourages undesirable behavior that is not in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare.

19. The findings noted in subsections (B)(1) through (18) of this section raise substantial governmental concerns.

20. Sexually oriented businesses have operational characteristics which should be reasonably regulated in order to protect those substantial governmental concerns.

21. A reasonable licensing procedure is an appropriate mechanism to place the burden of that reasonable regulation on the owners and operators of sexually oriented businesses. Further, such licensing procedure will place a heretofore nonexistent incentive on operators to see that the sexually oriented business is run in a manner consistent with the health, safety, and welfare of its patrons and employees, as well as the citizens of Josephine County. It is appropriate to require reasonable assurances that the licensee is the actual operator of the sexually oriented business, fully in possession and control of the premises and activities occurring therein.

22. Removal of doors on adult booths and requiring sufficient lighting on the premises with adult booths advances a substantial governmental interest in curbing the illegal and unsanitary sexual activity occurring in adult establishments.

23. The disclosure of certain information by those persons ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the sexually oriented business, where such information is substantially related to the significant governmental interest in the operation of such uses, will aid in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and criminal activity.

24. It is desirable, in the prevention of crime and the spread of communicable diseases, to obtain a limited amount of information regarding certain employees who may engage in the conduct this chapter is designed to prevent, or who are likely to be witnesses to such activity.

25. The fact that an applicant for a sexually oriented business license has been convicted of a sex-related crime leads to the rational assumption that the applicant may engage in that conduct in contravention to this chapter.

26. The barring of such individuals from operation or employment in sexually oriented businesses for a period of five years for a previous felony conviction serves as a deterrent to further criminal conduct, and prevents conduct which leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

27. The general welfare, health, morals, and safety of the citizens of Josephine County will be promoted by enactment of this chapter.

28. When more than one sexually oriented business use occupies the same location or business address, the secondary effects caused by such businesses are increased. Secondary effects are eliminated or controlled to a greater degree when only a single sexually oriented business use is allowed to occupy the same location. [Ord. 2005-006 § 1.]

A. Upon the filing of an application for a sexually oriented business employee license, the Director shall issue a temporary license to said applicant. The application shall then be referred to the appropriate Josephine County departments and/or officials for investigation to be made on the information contained in the application. The application process shall be completed as soon as possible from the date of the completed application. After the investigation, the Director shall issue an employee license, unless it is determined by a preponderance of the evidence that one or more of the following findings is true:

2. The applicant is under the age of 18 years; or

3. The applicant has been convicted of a “specified criminal activity” as defined in JCC 5.20.020; or

5. The applicant has had a sexually oriented business employee license revoked by Josephine County within two years of the date of the current application.

If the sexually oriented business employee license is denied, the temporary license previously issued is immediately rendered null and void. Denial, suspension, or revocation of a license issued pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to appeal as forth in subsection (I) of this section.

B. A license issued pursuant to subsection (A) of this section, if granted, shall state on its face the name of the person to whom it is granted, the expiration date, and the address of the sexually oriented business. While engaged in employment or performing services on the sexually oriented business premises, an employee shall, at all times, possess the license in such manner as to be available for immediate inspection upon lawful request.

C.
