ARTICLE 16- 4 -1683 <br /> ADULT- ORIENTED BUSINESS REGULATIONS <br /> A. Purpose and Intent. It is the intent of this article to prevent community wide <br /> adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the <br /> deterioration of neighborhoods which can be brought about by the <br /> concentration of Adult- Oriented Businesses in close proximity to each other or <br /> proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, churches, and <br /> residentially zoned districts or uses. The City Council finds that it has been <br /> demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of Adult - <br /> • Oriented Businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area, <br /> and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above can <br /> cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the <br /> purpose of this article to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to <br /> prevent the concentration of Adult - Oriented Businesses or their close <br /> proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of Adult - <br /> Oriented Businesses in certain areas. <br /> B. Location Standards. <br /> (1) Subject to the provisions of this chapter, Adult - Oriented Businesses <br /> shall be permitted only in the Industrial Park (IP), Industrial Limited (IL) and <br /> Industrial General (IG) Districts, provided: <br /> (a) Each Adult- Oriented Business shall, prior to commencement or <br /> continuation of such business, first apply for and receive zoning <br /> approval from the Development Services Department. <br /> (b) Each such Adult- Oriented Business must, prior to commencement <br /> or continuation of such business, first apply for and receive an <br /> Adult- Oriented Business License. <br /> (c) Each such Adult Oriented Business must comply with all <br /> applicable development and design regulations of the applicable <br /> Zone. <br /> (d) No Adult Oriented Businesses shall be located in any zoning <br /> district with an overlay zone. <br /> (e) No Adult Oriented Business shall be located on any parcel that <br /> contains frontage on Merced Street, Alvarado Street, Williams <br /> Street, Doolittle Drive or Fairway Drive. • <br /> 10 <br />
