A. The intent of this Chapter is to establish regulations for activities or uses which, because of their adult orientation, are recognized as having objectionable characteristics and need to be distanced from other uses such as residential, schools, parks, and community centers. Special regulations for these uses are necessary to:

1. Prevent inappropriate exposure of such businesses to the public;

2. Ensure that adverse effects of these uses will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of surrounding neighborhoods;

3. Protect property values and quality of life from potential adverse impacts; and

4. Limit the exposure of minors to pornographic materials.

B. This Chapter also establishes regulations regarding the sale of adult magazines as a secondary and incidental use within convenience stores and other similar retail uses to limit and control such sales outside of adult businesses in order to:

1. Limit the inappropriate exposure of the public to pornographic materials;

2. Ensure that such sales do not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of surrounding neighborhoods;

3. Protect property values and quality of life from potential adverse impacts; and

4. Limit the exposure of minors to pornographic materials.
