The purpose of the IL light industrial district is to encourage the development and redevelopment of areas of the village which are designated as industrial by the village land use plan. The IL district is further intended to ensure high quality future development through the use of site plan approval procedures which provide for specific consideration of access, parking, drainage, landscaping and design factors.

   A.   It is the purpose of this article to regulate 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 location and concentration of sexually oriented businesses within the village. The provisions of this article have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the intent nor effect of this article 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 article to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material.

   B.   Based on evidence concerning the adverse secondary effects of adult uses on the community presented in hearings and in reports made available to the village board of trustees, and on findings related in the cases of City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v. American Mini Theatres, 426 U.S. 50 (1976), Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991), City of Erie v. Pap-92s A.M., TDA-93 Kandyland-94, 529 U.S. 277 (2000), City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, Inc., 121 S. Ct. 1223 (2001), Northend Cinema, Inc. v. City of Seattle, 90 Wash.2d 709 (1978), City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, Inc., 535 U.S. 425 (2002), Barnes v. Glen Theatre Inc., 501 U.S. 560, and studies in "Report To The American Center For Law And Justice On The Secondary Impact Of Sex Oriented Business", Environmental Research Group, March 31, 1996, "Report Of The Attorney General's Working Group On The Regulation Of Sexually Oriented Business", Hubert H. Humphrey, III, attorney general for the state of Minnesota, June 6, 1989, and "Appendix D. Summaries Of Secondary Effects Reports", preface to the second edition, community defense counsel, the village board of trustees finds:

      1.   Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities that are presently uncontrolled by the operators of the establishments. Further, there is presently no mechanism to make the owners of these establishments responsible for the activities that occur on their premises.

      2.   Certain employees of sexually oriented businesses defined in this article as adult theaters and cabarets engage in a higher incidence of certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of other establishments.

      3.   Sexual acts, including masturbation, and oral and anal sex, occur at sexually oriented businesses, especially those which provide private or semiprivate booths or cubicles for viewing films, videos, or live sex shows.

      4.   Offering and providing such space encourages such activities, which creates unhealthy conditions.

      5.   Persons frequent certain adult theaters, adult arcades, and other sexually oriented businesses for the purpose of engaging in sex within the premises of such sexually oriented businesses.

      6.   At least fifty (50) communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in sexually oriented businesses, including, but not limited to, syphilis, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV-AIDS), genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B amebiasis, salmonella infections and shigella infections.

      7.   Since 1981, and to the present, there has been an increasing cumulative number of persons testing positive for the HIV antibody test.

      8.   The surgeon general of the United States in his report of October 22, 1986, has advised the American public that AIDS and HIV infection may be transmitted through sexual contact, intravenous drug abuse, exposure to infected blood and blood components, and from an infected mother to her newborn.

      9.   According to the best scientific evidence, AIDS and HIV infection, as well as syphilis and gonorrhea, are principally transmitted by sexual acts.

      10.   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.

      11.   Numerous studies and reports have determined that semen is found in the areas of sexually oriented businesses where persons view "adult" oriented films.

      12.   Sexually oriented businesses have operational characteristics which should be reasonably regulated in order to protect those substantial governmental concerns.

      13.   Reasonable zoning and licensing procedures are appropriate mechanisms to place the burden of that reasonable regulation on the owners and the operators of the sexually oriented businesses. Further, such procedures will place an incentive on the operators to see that the sexually oriented business is run in a manner consistent with the health, safety and welfare of its patrons and employees, as well as the citizens of the village. It is appropriate to require reasonable assurances that the licensee is the actual operator of the sexually oriented business, fully in possession and control of the premises and activities occurring therein.

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

      15.   The findings noted in subsections B1 through B14 of this section raise substantial governmental concerns.

      16.   The findings and opinions of the cases and studies as related in the opening of this subsection B are the findings of the village board of trustees as if set forth verbatim herein. (Ord. 2007-17, 7-24-2007)
