§ 435.7-02 Purpose.

This article promotes the public health, safety, and welfare and is intended to:
A. 
Promote a sound and sustainable development pattern by separating the Village into various districts where each has uniformly applicable development standards;
B. 
Separate incompatible land uses to the greatest extent possible;
C. 
Encourage the most appropriate and sustainable use of land throughout the Village;
D. 
Regulate and restrict the erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, and use of buildings, structures, and land;
E. 
Provide for a variety of sustainable housing options;
F. 
Allow different but compatible land uses (i.e., mixed uses) to occur in specified areas of the Village;
G. 
Avoid or, as a less preferred alternative, minimize congestion;
H. 
Avoid or, as a less preferred alternative, minimize environmental degradation; and
I. 
Preserve prime agricultural lands and stabilize the economic base of farming in the Village while at the same time allowing for needed sustainable urban expansion.

§ 435.7-03 Generally.

The Village is divided into a number of base zoning districts so that each parcel of land is located in a district. For each of these districts, appropriate types of land uses are identified along with development standards when applicable. In addition to these zoning districts, the Village and Outagamie County have established overlay districts to accomplish specific purposes not generally applicable to the Village's base districts. Where the requirements of a base district and overlay district conflict, the most restrictive applies. The Zoning Map depicts the location of the base districts used in this chapter along with some of the overlay districts as may be appropriate.

§ 435.7-04 Establishment and purpose of zoning districts.

A. 
Base zoning districts. Recognizing that different areas of the Village serve unique functions, the Village is divided into a number of base zoning districts. Even though some of the districts may share similar characteristics, they possess one or more unique qualities that set them apart from the other districts. Although these districts may not now possess each of the attributes in these descriptions, it is intended that as land uses change over time they more closely reflect the intended uses. Uses are allowed in the various districts consistent with the development standards in this article and development limitations as described in § 435.7-15. The base districts are as follows:
(1) 
General Agriculture (A-2) District. This district is intended to accommodate both large- and small-scale farms and hobby farms. Although scattered residential lots are allowed, agriculture is the predominant land use.
(2) 
Rural Residential (R-1) District. This district is intended to accommodate single-family residences on scattered lots to foster and maintain the rural character and lifestyle of the surrounding area. Lots are generally served by on-site wastewater treatment systems.
(3) 
Low-Density Residential (R-2) District. This district is intended to accommodate low- and medium-density residential lots in a duly recorded and legally maintained subdivision. This district provides a "suburban" arrangement of amenities, services, and facilities. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(4) 
Medium-Density Residential (R-3) District. This district is intended to accommodate two-family dwellings, twin homes, and single-family residences. This district provides a "suburban" arrangement of amenities, services, and facilities. Since the two-family dwelling produces a divergent occupancy pattern from that of the traditional single-family dwelling, this district is generally adjacent to, but not within, a single-family neighborhood. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(5) 
High-Density Residential (R-4) District. This district is intended to accommodate multifamily buildings and townhouses at urban densities. This district provides a "suburban" arrangement of amenities, services, and facilities. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer.
(6) 
Manufactured/Mobile Home Park (R-8) District. This district is for the exclusive use and development of one or more manufactured/mobile home parks. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(7) 
Neighborhood Business (B-1) District. This district is intended to accommodate a single retail or service establishment or a small grouping of such establishments that primarily serve the daily needs of residents in the surrounding area. Because this district characteristically is near or within residential areas, standards are designed to ensure the commercial uses are compatible in appearance and character with the surrounding residential uses. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(8) 
Community Business (B-2) District. This district is intended to accommodate both large- and small-scale pedestrian- and auto-oriented commercial development that primarily serves the needs of the surrounding community, including professional offices, retail stores, service establishments, overnight lodging, entertainment facilities, and mixed-use housing. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(9) 
General Business (B-3) District. This district is intended to accommodate primarily larger-scale commercial projects of regional importance that require access to major road corridors. Multifamily buildings are allowed in this district, along with mixed-used housing. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(10) 
Mixed-Use (M-1) District. This district is intended to accommodate a wide range of compatible residential and nonresidential uses at densities and intensity typical of an urban area. Typically, this district is a minimum of five acres in area and is only located in those areas where the existing and planned land uses in the surrounding districts are compatible with those uses permitted in this district. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(11) 
Light Industrial (I-1) District. This district is intended to accommodate those businesses and activities typically associated with manufacturing of finished products, storage, and wholesale operations. Uses permitted in this district characteristically occur inside of a building or other structure. Outdoor storage when allowed is clearly incidental to the primary use. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(12) 
Heavy Industrial (I-2) District. This district is intended to accommodate industrial uses that handle or process raw materials and other large-scale uses often considered offensive or unique by nature. Handling and processing of materials may occur within a building or other structure or out of doors. Lots are connected to a public sanitary sewer system or have an on-site sewage disposal system.
(13) 
Planned development (PDD) districts. Planned development districts are a special type of zoning district and are initially proposed by a property owner who desires a mix of uses or flexibility in a project's overall design. Each district is unique and therefore has its own set of development standards that are documented in the general development plan and associated development agreement, if any. PDD districts are numbered sequentially (i.e., PDD-1, PDD-2, etc.).
B. 
Overlay zoning districts. In addition to the base zoning districts enumerated above, the following overlay zoning districts are established to account for unique conditions or requirements:
(1) 
Floodplain overlay districts. The floodplain overlay districts include those lands within the one-hundred-year and five-hundred-year floodplain as mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These overlay districts are further divided into the flood-fringe and floodway. Each subdistrict has unique development standards based on flooding characteristics that are crafted to meet the minimum requirements as established by state law.
(2) 
Shoreland-Wetland Overlay District. In general, the Shoreland-Wetland Overlay District includes those wetlands of five acres or more and which are shown on the Wisconsin wetland inventory maps that have been prepared for Winnebago County. The provisions relating to this district are contained in Article 14 of this chapter. They are crafted to meet the minimum requirements as established by state law.
(3) 
Shoreland Zoning Overlay District. This district extends from the ordinary high-water mark of navigable streams inland for a distance of 300 feet or to the inland side of the floodplain, whichever is greater, and from the ordinary high-water mark of navigable lakes, ponds, or flowages inland for a distance of 1,000 feet. The provisions relating to this district are contained in Article 13 of this chapter. They are crafted to meet the minimum requirements as established by Ch. NR 115, Wis. Adm. Code.
(4) 
Reduced Setback Overlay District.
[Added 11-8-2021 by Ord. No. 211025-1]
(a) 
This overlay district can only be applied to the zoning districts identified below when the majority of the existing structures proposed to be located within the overlay district do not meet current setback requirements. The reduced setback shall be the minimum possible but shall be no less than zero feet.
B-1
Neighborhood Business
B-2
Community Business
B-3
General Business
I-1
Light Industrial
I-2
Heavy Industrial
(b) 
Standards for the Reduced Setback Overlay District are as follows, subject to the following:
[1] 
Minimum front yard setback: none, unless off-street parking spaces are located between the right-of-way line and any buildings on the lot, then a minimum of a ten-foot setback.
[2] 
Minimum side yard: none, but subject to fire codes for the specific use. The overlay district shall encompass no less than one parcel.
[3] 
Minimum rear yard: as per principal zoning district.
[4] 
Height: as per principal zoning district.
[5] 
Other considerations. The overlay district shall also take into consideration vehicular and pedestrian safety, intersection visibility, easements and other conditions specific to the area proposed for a reduced setback, and setbacks shall be adjusted subject to the above additional issues when appropriate.
C. 
Outagamie County Airport Overlay Zoning District. Pursuant to the provisions of § 114.136, Wis. Stats., Outagamie County has established an Airport Overlay Zoning District which includes some lands within Fox Crossing. Lands within this district shall be subject to standards set forth in Chapter 10, Aviation, of the Outagamie County Code of Ordinances. The Village will make available the appropriate maps and standards for this overlay district.

§ 435.7-05 Necessity of zoning district designation.

It is the intent of this article that no land shall be without a zoning district designation, unless specifically noted on the Zoning Map. In the event a parcel of land is for any reason deemed to be without a designation, no land development shall occur until such time as the Village Board of Trustees has assigned the parcel an appropriate zoning classification.

§ 435.7-06 Effect of boundary line relocation on zoning designation.

Pursuant to Ch. 236, Wis. Stats., the property boundary line between adjoining parcels of land may be relocated in certain circumstances, potentially making one parcel larger and the other smaller. In those situations where the affected parcels are in different zoning districts, boundary line relocation shall not alter the location of the zoning district boundary until such time as the Zoning Map has been amended to reflect the new property boundary line.

§ 435.7-07 Zoning Map.

A. 
Title. The map that depicts the location of the various zoning districts shall be titled "Fox Crossing Zoning Map."
B. 
Official Zoning Map. The Village Clerk shall retain on file one paper copy of the Zoning Map as the Official Zoning Map which shall be signed by the Village President and attested by the Village Clerk. If there is a discrepancy between this Zoning Map and other maps as may be made available, including any maps online, the map maintained by the Village Clerk shall control in all instances.
C. 
Availability. A copy of the Zoning Map shall be maintained by the Zoning Administrator and shall be available for public inspection upon request and distribution. The location and boundaries of the Village's zoning districts shall be included in Fox Crossing's geographic information system (GIS) mapping program and may be also be shown on online maps on the Fox Crossing and Winnebago County websites.
D. 
Preparation of a new Official Zoning Map. In the event the Zoning Map maintained by the Village Clerk is damaged, lost, or destroyed and after each amendment, the Zoning Administrator shall prepare a new Zoning Map and submit it to the Village executive for certification and to the Village Clerk for attestation.
E. 
History of amendment. The Zoning Map maintained by the Village Clerk may contain a descriptive history of recent amendments that have been made, indicating the ordinance number and date of action.
F. 
Archive of superseded maps. The Village Clerk shall retain on file a permanent archive of superseded Zoning Maps that are created after March 31, 2013.
G. 
Amendment. The procedure and requirements to amend the Zoning Map are provided in Article 6 of this chapter.

§ 435.7-08 Land uses generally allowed within zoning districts.

A. 
General purpose zoning districts. For the purposes of this chapter, land uses, as defined in Article 3 of this chapter, are classified as principal, accessory, or temporary. Table 7-1 lists principal land uses (Series 1 to 16), accessory uses (Series 17), and temporary uses (Series 18).[1]
(1) 
Each of the land uses is designated as one of the following:
(a) 
Permitted in the zoning district by right provided that all other provisions of this chapter are met;
(b) 
Allowed in the zoning district as a conditional use provided that all other provisions of this chapter are met; or
(c) 
Not permitted in the zoning district.
(2) 
Any commercial or industrial land use that is shown as permitted that emits air contaminants, fugitive dust, or potentially offensive odors outside of the building; incinerates any substance; or handles radioactive materials, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, or regulated substances is considered a conditional use.
B. 
Planned development districts. Land uses that are permitted in a planned development district are enumerated in the general development plan for the district, along with development standards, if any.

§ 435.7-09 Similarity of land uses.

Because the list of land uses cannot include every conceivable type of activity, those land uses that are listed in Table 7-1 shall be interpreted to include other land uses that are of a similar nature and have similar impacts to the listed use.

§ 435.7-10 Land uses not listed.

A land use that is not listed in Table 7-1 and which cannot be interpreted to be similar to any listed land use as provided for above is prohibited under authority of this chapter.

§ 435.7-11 Project classified in more than one land use category.

If a proposed project includes both an allowable land use and a prohibited land use, the prohibited portion of the project shall not occur in the zoning district.

§ 435.7-12 Establishment of accessory land use prior to principal use.

A. 
Generally. Unless specifically permitted in this section or in other sections of this chapter, an accessory use as allowed in the zoning district shall only be established when a principal use is present or is being established on the same lot.
B. 
Exemption for a vacant lot adjoining another lot in same ownership. The Zoning Administrator may allow the establishment of an accessory use on a vacant lot provided the accessory use is allowed in the zoning district and such lot adjoins a lot in the same ownership that supports a principal use. If allowed, the property owner shall record an agreement and deed restriction with the Register of Deeds for Winnebago County that describes the authorized use and any conditions of approval. Such conditions of approval may relate to the use of the accessory use and the need to reestablish a principal use on the subject property within a specified time period.
C. 
Exemption for a utility cabinet. For the purpose of this chapter, a utility cabinet may be established on a vacant lot prior to the establishment of a principal use.
D. 
Exemption for storage building in A-2 District. In an A-2 zoning district, a storage building may be constructed prior to the establishment of a principal use provided the parcel is 5.0 acres or more. As a condition of approval, the property owner shall record an agreement and deed restriction, as approved by the Zoning Administrator, with the Register of Deeds for Winnebago County that describes the nature of the authorized use.

§ 435.7-13 Removal of principal building while retaining accessory building.

The Planning Commission may allow the removal of a principal building while retaining the accessory building when the Planning Commission determines that the principal building is dilapidated and the accessory building meets current building codes and serves a useful purpose. If allowed, the property owner shall record an agreement and deed restriction with the Register of Deeds for Winnebago County that controls the use of the accessory building and incorporates any requirement imposed by the Planning Commission as a condition of approval.

§ 435.7-14 Special provisions for community living arrangements.

In addition to the standards in this article, community living arrangements must also comply with § 62.23(7)(i), Wis. Stats.

§ 435.7-15 Site restrictions.

If the Zoning Administrator determines that a parcel of land, whether vacant, partially developed, or fully developed, contains one or more development constraints that would preclude the normal use of the parcel for a use that is otherwise permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, he or she shall render a written determination that states the best available facts related to the development constraint and other reasoning as may be appropriate. Examples of development constraints include unfavorable topography, rock formations, shallow depth to bedrock, unstable or otherwise unsuitable soils, stormwater runoff, inadequate drainage, and high groundwater. Once such a determination has been made, the Zoning Administrator, Building Official, or other governmental official or body shall not issue a development order or other approval authorizing the development in the area subject to the development constraint. Because a determination rendered by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to this section is an administrative decision, the property owner shall have the right to appeal such determination consistent with the procedures and requirements in Article 6 of this chapter. The Zoning Administrator may reconsider his or her determination at any time and render a new determination if new or additional facts become known or if the facts upon which the determination was made are not accurate.

§ 435.7-16 Map of conditional uses.

The Zoning Administrator is authorized to prepare a map showing those properties that have an active conditional use permit and to amend the same from time to time.

§ 435.7-17 Dimensional standards by zoning district.

Lots, buildings, and other structures not located within a planned development district shall conform to the dimensional standards specified in Table 7-4 to Table 7-15,[1] except as may be otherwise allowed in this division. The standards for lots, buildings, and other structures in a planned development district are enumerated in the general development plan for the zoning district.

(b) 
Lakes, streams, man-made ponds, and similar water bodies up to the elevation of the ordinary high-water mark;
(c) 
The area within the proposed right-of-way of a road so designated on the County's highway width map; or
(d) 
If the road on which the lot fronts is not located within a public road right-of-way, the area of the easement designated for public road purposes, or the area extending 33 feet from the center of the road if the road is not located within an easement.
(2) 
For the purpose of this subsection, the location of the proposed right-of-way line is 1/2 the width of the proposed right-of-way as measured from the center of the existing road.
D. 
Use of a lot not meeting specified dimensional standards. The use of a nonconforming lot is governed by requirements found in Article 11 of this chapter.
E. 
Change in lot. The location of the property boundary lines of a lot and/or the area of a lot containing a conditional use shall not be modified in any manner without the express authorization of the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission determines that the proposed reconfiguration or change in lot area is substantive, the proposed change may only occur if the Planning Commission grants a new approval with the proposed lot consistent with the review procedures and requirements for a conditional use in effect at the time.

Generally. All buildings and building additions hereafter constructed shall comply with the floor area requirements as may be stated in Tables 7-4 to 7-15.
B. 
Measurement of floor area. The floor area of a building is measured from exterior face to exterior face, excluding unenclosed porches, stoops, steps, and similar features. If a floor area requirement is specified on a per-unit basis and is located in a building with other similar or different uses, the floor area is measured from the center of the wall separating such other uses. If a building does not have an exterior wall, the floor area is the area under the horizontal projection of the roof.

§ 435.7-20 Building and structure height.

A. 
Generally. Except as specified in this section, the height of structures shall comply with the standards specified in Tables 7-4 to 7-15.
B. 
Measurement of building height. The height of a building is measured from the mean elevation of the finished lot grade along the street yard face of the building to the highest point of flat roofs, the mean height level between the eaves and the highest point of gable, gambrel, hip, and pitch roofs, or the deckline of a mansard roof as generally depicted in Exhibit 7-1.
Exhibit 7-1. Measurement of Building Height by Roof Type

§ 435.7-23 Road frontage.

A. 
Generally. A lot shall front on and have access to a public road for the minimum required distance specified in Tables 7-4 to 7-15.
B. 
Measurement. If the road on which the lot fronts is situated within a public right-of-way, the length of road frontage is measured on a horizontal plane along the front property boundary line or along the proposed right-of-way line as may be depicted on the highway width map, whichever yields the longest distance. If the road on which the lot fronts is not situated within a public right-of-way, the length of road frontage is measured on a horizontal plane perpendicular to a line that is 33 feet from the center of such road. For the purpose of this subsection, the location of the proposed right-of-way line is 1/2 the width of the proposed right-of-way as measured from the center of the road.

§ 435.7-34 Site design principles.

A. 
Legislative findings. The Village Board of Trustees makes the following legislative findings regarding site design requirements:
(1) 
The design and layout of a site, including principal and accessory buildings, parking areas and access drives, building service areas, docking and loading areas, and other elements, can have a substantial and long-lasting effect on the utility of the subject property and on surrounding properties and the overall character of a community.
(2) 
The requirements in this section are intended to provide meaningful guidance to applicants, design professionals, and public officials.
(3) 
The requirements in this section are intended to promote the public health, safety, and welfare and are reasonably related to the public purpose of achieving an attractive, functional, and prosperous community.
B. 
Minimum requirements. Development subject to review under this division shall adhere to the following site design principles along with other requirements that may apply:
(1) 
A building shall be arranged on the site so as to not impede traffic accessibility and circulation to or from adjacent streets and adjoining sites developed with similar nonresidential uses.
(2) 
The front of the building shall be generally parallel to the street or a public area, such as a courtyard, plaza, or the like.
(3) 
Cross accesses shall be provided between adjoining commercial parcels whenever it is feasible to do so.
(4) 
A service area for a commercial or institutional building shall be easily accessible to service vehicles, separated from the on-site parking area, and designed to serve multiple establishments and tenants, when possible. Such service area shall not be readily visible from a public street, an on-site customer parking area, or an abutting property in a commercial or residential zoning district or in an agricultural zoning district that is designated for future commercial or residential development in an adopted Comprehensive Plan. Screening from view may be accomplished by integrating such area into the overall design of the building (e.g., inside of the building or use of architectural extension of a building wall) or using a fence, a berm, landscaping (above what is otherwise required in this chapter), other suitable feature, or any combination thereof.
(5) 
A docking or loading area for a commercial, institutional, or industrial building shall be easily accessible to service vehicles, separated from the on-site parking area, and designed to serve multiple establishments and tenants, when possible. Such docking or loading area shall not be readily visible from a public street, an on-site customer parking area, or an abutting property in a commercial or residential district or in an agricultural zoning district that is designated for future commercial or residential development in an adopted Comprehensive Plan. Screening from view may be accomplished by integrating such area into the overall design of the building (e.g., inside of the building or use of architectural extension of a building wall) or using a fence, a berm, landscaping, above what is otherwise required in this chapter, other suitable feature, or any combination thereof (Exhibit 7-2).
435 Exhibit 7-2.tiff
(6) 
Existing natural resources and topographic features on the site shall be preserved to the greatest extent possible while affording a reasonable use of the property.
(7)

(8) 
The project shall not create any hazard.
(9) 
The project shall be designed to avoid existing hazards, whether man-made or natural, and if avoidance is not possible, to mitigate the effects of the hazard to a satisfactory level necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

§ 435.7-35 Architectural standards.

A. 
Legislative findings. The Village Board of Trustees makes the following legislative findings with regard to this section:
(1) 
The outward design appearance of a building can have a substantial and long-lasting effect on surrounding properties and the overall character of a community.
(2) 
Buildings and especially those within a largely developed area should fit into the context in which they occur.
(3) 
Architectural design standards should allow for a variety of architectural styles and be flexible to the greatest extent possible.
(4) 
The standards in this section are intended to provide meaningful guidance to applicants, design professionals, and public officials.
(5) 
This section is not intended to limit or infringe upon reasonable accommodations to afford a person with disabilities equal opportunity to use and enjoy a building.
(6) 
The standards in this section are intended to promote the public health, safety, and welfare and are reasonably related to the public purpose of achieving an attractive, functional, and prosperous community.
B. 
Minimum requirements. Buildings subject to review under this division shall adhere to the following architectural standards:

§ 435.7-38 Agriculture, general.

A. 
Legislative findings. The Village Board of Trustees makes the following legislative findings regarding large-scale animal agriculture:
(1) 
The State Legislature adopted § 93.90, Wis. Stats., (Livestock Facility Siting Law) to govern livestock facilities, which is implemented by administrative rule under Ch. ATCP 51, Wis. Adm. Code.
(2) 
The Livestock Facility Siting Law allows local jurisdictions to review livestock facilities with 500 animal units or more as a conditional use.
B. 
Standards for livestock facilities with fewer than 500 animal units. There are no special standards that apply to general agriculture with fewer than 500 animal units.
C. 
Standards for livestock facilities with 500 animal units or more. A livestock facility with 500 animal units or more shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) 
Minimum lot area. The facility shall only occur on a parcel of land that is 40 acres or larger. Once this use is established, the parcel shall not be made smaller through a property boundary line relocation or other means, except as may be approved by the Planning Commission.
(2) 
Road access. Primary access to this use shall occur off of a road classified as a county trunk highway or state highway, unless otherwise prohibited.

(3) 
As a result of the Board's own experiences, observations, studies, experiences of other communities and testimony, the Board finds that adult-oriented establishments are frequently used for unlawful sexual activities, including prostitution and sexual liaisons of a causal nature, which may have a deleterious secondary effect on the existing and planned commercial and residential uses in the surrounding areas and result in downgrading of property values as well as causing an increase in criminal activity. Further, the service or presence of alcohol within an adult-oriented establishment is likely to heighten the potential occurrence of such deleterious secondary effects on the surrounding areas.
(4) 
The establishment of adult-oriented establishments within 600 feet of each other can create especially deleterious secondary effects on existing and planned commercial and residential uses in the surrounding area.
(5) 
The establishment of an adult-oriented establishment within 600 feet of certain land uses, including schools, worship facilities, libraries, parks, and other places where the public and children congregate, can conflict with those uses.
(6) 
Concern over sexually transmitted diseases is a legitimate health concern of Fox Crossing which demands reasonable regulation of adult-oriented establishments in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
(7) 
Fox Crossing desires to minimize and control these adverse secondary effects and thereby protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizenry, protect the citizens from increased crime, preserve the quality of life, preserve the property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods, and deter the spread of blight.
B. 
Purpose.
(1) 
It is the intent and purpose of this section to be passed pursuant to legitimate regulatory authority of the Village under its police powers and zoning powers, pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, to promote the health, safety, welfare and morals of the citizens of Fox Crossing by establishing reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects associated with adult-oriented establishments.
(2) 
The provisions of this section have neither the purpose nor the effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative or expressive materials or acts, including sexually oriented materials or acts. Similarly, it is not the intent or effect of this section to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials or acts protected by the First Amendment or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexual oriented entertainment to their intended market. Neither is it the intent nor effect of this section to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene materials as regulated by state law.
(3) 
The regulations of this section are not aimed at the content of any speech. Rather, this section has the purpose and effect of controlling the deleterious secondary effects of adult-oriented establishments while avoiding the regulation of content.
(4) 
This section is not intended to prohibit adult-oriented establishments from operating in Fox Crossing, but rather this section is intended to regulate their location and manner of operation while providing reasonable opportunity for such adult-oriented establishments to exist. This section is also intended to regulate the proximity of adult-oriented establishments to certain sensitive land uses.
C.
