§ 58-24. Special requirements for adult establishments.

Adult establishments are permitted only in the B-2 district and only if they satisfy the following requirements:

(1)

Any structure containing an adult establishment must be at least 1,000 feet from any residentially zoned property, school, church or house of worship, child care center, park or playground (each of which constitutes a protected use). An adult establishment lawfully operating as a conforming use is not rendered a nonconforming use by the subsequent location of a protected use within 1,000 feet of it.

(2)

Any structure containing an adult establishment must be at least 1,000 feet from any other adult establishment.

(3)

For purposes of this section, the distance between a structure containing an adult establishment and a protected use shall be measured by a straight line from the closest edge of the structure containing the adult establishment to the closest portion of the property line of the property on which the protected use is located. For purposes of this section, the distance between two structures containing adult establishments shall be measured by a straight line connecting the closest edges of those structures.

(4)

No more than one adult establishment may be located within a single structure.

(5)

The ordinance from which this section is derived becomes effective on October 9, 2006. All existing adult establishments that are nonconforming with respect to subsections (1) or (2) of this section, must comply with the provisions of this section within eight years of the effective date.
