The purpose of the provisions of this section is to protect health, welfare, and property values from secondary effects of the location of various adult entertainment land uses, within the City limits. The City has reviewed various ordinances, communicated with other communities, and reviewed various studies relating to such location of adult entertainment land uses, and has determined that the protection sought is best served by enacting provisions of regulation as set forth subsequent hereto. It is the purpose of this section to regulate sexually-oriented businesses and related activities to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of the City, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious location and concentration of sexually-oriented businesses within the City. The provisions of this section 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 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 materials. Nothing in this section is intended to authorize, legalize, or permit the establishment, operation, or maintenance of any business, building, or use which violates any other provisions of law.
