No building or structure shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed or structurally altered, nor shall any structure or land be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the district in which it is located. These regulations set forth herein are established in order to protect the health and environment; promote public safety, convenience, comfort, morals and welfare; to avoid or lessen congestion in the public streets; to lessen or avoid hazard to persons and damage to property resulting from the accumulations of runoff of stormwater or floods; and to conserve the value of land and buildings throughout the village.

(Code 1964, § 30-6; Ord. No. 96-14, 3-25-1996)

The residential district regulations are provided for single- and multiple-family development. In the single-family residential districts, the regulations reflect the development of the community and the uniqueness of each district, including, but not limited to, subdivision design and historical development. The multiple-family residential districts provide for higher density dwelling development for such reasons, including, but not limited to, enhancing access to transportation corridors and facilities, shopping facilities and places of employment. The regulations governing each of these zoning districts are intended to maintain the quality of life and amenities found unique to each of the individual residential districts while encouraging new or expanded development which is compatible and consistent with the overall character of the district.

(Code 1964, § 30-6.04(F); Ord. No. 2006-64, 9-11-2006)

It is the purpose of this section to regulate the location of sexually oriented businesses in order to promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the citizens of the village and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses within the village. The provisions of this section have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content or reasonable access to any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is not the intent or effect of this section to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment 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.

(Ord. No. 2010-69, § 14(30-6.05(A)), 10-25-2010)

Based on evidence of the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses on the communities, presented in hearings and in reports made available to the planning and zoning commission and recommended to the village president and board of trustees, and on findings incorporated in the cases of Pap's A.M. vs. City of Erie, 2000 U.S. LEXIS 2347 (Mar. 29, 2000); City of Renton Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young vs. American Mini Theatres, 426 U.S. 50 (1976), and Barnes vs. Glen Theatre, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991), Schultz vs. City of Cumberland, 26 F.Supp.2d 1128 (W.D. Wisc. 1998), aff'd in part, rev'd in part, 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 23773 (7th Cir. 2000); Berg vs. Health & Hospital Corp., 865 F.2d 797 (1989); DiMa Corp. vs. Town of Hallie, 185 F.3d 823 (1999); Entertainment Concepts vs. Maciejewski, 631 F.2d 497 (1980); Genusa vs. City of Peoria, 619 F.2d 1203 (1980); Graff vs. City of Chicago, 9 F.3d 1309 (1993); North Avenue Novelties, Inc. vs. City of Chicago, 88 F.3d 441 (1996); and other cases; and on reports of secondary effects occurring in and around sexually oriented businesses, both in Cook County and in other communities including, but not limited to, Denver, Colorado — 1998; Rochester, New York — 2000; Indianapolis, Indiana — 1984; Kansas City, Missouri — 1998; Los Angeles, California — 1977; Newport News, Virginia — 1996; St. Paul, Minnesota — 1987/1988 Supplemental Study; Springfield, Missouri — 1986; New York, New York — 1994; Phoenix Arizona — 1979; Tucson, Arizona — 1990; Garden Grove, California — 1991; Whittier, California — 1978; Adams County, Colorado — 1988; Manatee County Florida — 1987; Minneapolis, Minnesota — 1980; Las Vegas, Nevada — 1978; Ellicottville, New York — 1998; Islip, New York — 1980; New York Times Square Study — 1994; New Hanover County, North Carolina — 1989; Cleveland, Ohio — 1977; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — 1986/1992; Amarillo Texas — 1977; Austin, Texas — 1986; Beaumont, Texas — 1982; Cleburne, Texas — 1997; Dallas, Texas — 1997; El Paso, Texas — 1986; Houston, Texas — 1983/1997; Bellevue, Washington — 1988; Des Moines, Washington — 1984; Seattle, Washington — 1989; St. Croix County, Wisconsin — 1993; and also on findings from the Report of the Attorney General's Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses, (June 6, 1989, State of Minnesota), the village president and board of trustees find:

(1)

Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities that tend to have an adverse impact on the surrounding community. Further, there are presently insufficient mechanisms in the village to regulate the location of sexually oriented businesses to minimize the adverse impact on surrounding property owners.

(2)

Certain employees of unregulated sexually oriented businesses defined in this chapter as adult theatres and cabarets engage in higher incidence of certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of other establishments.

(3)

Unlawful sexual acts occur at unregulated sexually oriented businesses, especially those which provide private or semi-private booths or cubicles for viewing films, videos or live sex shows and generally results in an increase in crime with the village.

(4)

Offering and providing such unregulated locations encourages such activities, which has an adverse impact on the village's retail trade, property values of surrounding properties which results in a reduction in the quality of the village's neighborhoods, commercial districts and suburban life.

(5)

Persons frequent certain adult theatres, adult arcades and other sexually oriented businesses for the purpose of engaging in sex within or about the premises of such sexually oriented businesses, or for the purpose of purchasing or selling illicit drugs.

(6)

Numerous communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in or about sexually oriented businesses, including, but not limited to, syphilis, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV-AIDS), genital herpes, hepatitis salmonella, campylobacter and shigella infections, chlamydia, myoplasmal and ureoplasmal infections, trichomoniasis and chancroid.

(7)

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 the operators of the facilities to self-regulate those activities and maintain those facilities.

(8)

Numerous studies and reports have determined that bodily fluids are found in the areas of sexually oriented businesses where persons view adult oriented films.

(9)

The presence of sexually oriented businesses can have an adverse effect on residential neighborhoods, neighborhood children and community improvement efforts.

(10)

The findings noted in subsections (1) through (9) of this section raise substantial governmental concerns.

(11)

Sexually oriented businesses have characteristics that tend to have secondary adverse effects on surrounding property and should be reasonably regulated in order to protect those substantial governmental concerns.

(12)

Zoning is an appropriate mechanism to minimize the impact of sexually oriented businesses and provide a reasonable alternate avenue of communication for sexually oriented businesses. Further, zoning permits sexually oriented businesses to be located in areas consistent with the health, safety and welfare of the community and citizens of the village. It is appropriate to require reasonable limitations on the location of sexually oriented businesses.

(13)

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

(Ord. No. 2010-69, § 14(30-6.05(B)), 10-25-2010; Ord. No. 2013-69, § 22, 12-16-2013)
