10-8E-1: PURPOSE:

   A.   Generally: It is the purpose of the I-1 industrial district regulations:
      1.   To protect established residential areas from nearby industrial, retail and commercial activities which may create offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare, fire hazards and other objectionable influences;
      2.   To protect established residential areas from nearby industrial, commercial and retail activities which may cause deleterious secondary effects as more fully set forth in subsection B of this section;
      3.   To protect established residential areas, recognizing the rising incidence in the abuse of controlled substances, from the resultant damage to the peace, health and welfare of the citizens of the village; and
      4.   To protect the limited amount of suitable industrial land from preemption by other uses and thereby to protect and enhance the tax base of the village. Limiting the location of sexually oriented adult uses and of facilities established to treat the abuse of, or the psychological or physiological dependence on, alcohol or controlled substances to the I-1 industrial district will produce relatively small or fewer adverse secondary effects on and will promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the citizens of the village. (Ord. 2008-1301, 9-2-2008)
   B.   Sexually Oriented Adult Businesses:
      1.   Purpose And Exemptions: It is a purpose of the sexually oriented adult business regulations set out in this article to regulate sexually oriented adult 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 adult businesses within the village. The provisions of sexually oriented adult business regulations have neither the purpose nor the effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content or reasonable access to any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the intent nor the effect of sexually oriented adult business regulations 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. Sexually oriented adult business regulations do not apply to theaters, performing arts centers, civic centers, and dinner theaters where live dance, ballet, music, and dramatic performances of serious artistic merit are offered on a regular basis and in which the predominant business or attraction is not the offering of entertainment which is intended for the sexual interests or titillation of customers, and where the establishment is not distinguished by an emphasis on or the advertising or promotion of nude or seminude performances. Neither is it the intent nor effect of sexually oriented adult business regulations to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material.
      2.   Findings: Based on evidence of the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented adult uses, presented in hearings and in reports made available to the village, and on findings incorporated in the cases of Village Of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, Inc., 535 U.S. 425 (2002); Pap's A.M. v. Village Of Erie, 529 U.S. 277 (2000); Village Of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v.

         a.   Sexually oriented businesses, as a category of commercial uses, are associated with a wide variety of adverse secondary effects including, but not limited to, personal and property crimes, prostitution, illicit sex acts, potential spread of sexually transmitted diseases, lewdness, public indecency, illegal drug use and drug trafficking, negative impacts on property values, urban blight, pornographic litter, and sexual assault and exploitation.
         b.   The consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises of sexually oriented businesses exacerbates the deleterious secondary effects of such businesses.
         c.   Each of the foregoing negative secondary effects constitutes a harm, which the village has a substantial government interest in preventing and/or abating. (Ord. 2008-1302, 9-2-2008)

   B.   The provisions stated in this entry shall not apply to any sexually oriented adult use in existence and lawfully established at the effective date hereof, so long as the sexually oriented adult use continues to conduct its business at the location it was doing business at the effective date hereof and does not change the nature of the sexually oriented adult use; provided, that such sexually oriented adult use may expand its operation into an adjoining structure which is not closer to a district zoned for residential use or a preexisting school or place of worship and is operated as an integral part of the original location.

Drug treatment and rehabilitation facilities.
   A.   A special use permit shall be required to locate or relocate within the Village.
   B.   With respect to drug treatment and rehabilitation facilities, the Board of Trustees, in its deliberation, shall give due consideration to the probable effect the proposed special use would have on surrounding land uses, including consideration to:
      1.   The effect the project will have as a traffic generator on streets giving access to the site;
      2.   The location of access drives into the site with respect to their creating traffic hazards;
      3.   The adequacy of on site parking;
      4.   Lighting of the premises;
      5.   Adequacy of supervision;
      6.   Hours of operation;
      7.   Deleterious secondary effects the proposed special use would have on surrounding land uses; and
      8.   The history of compliance with Village ordinances, the history of peacefulness and compliance of the establishment at its prior location, if any, police reports relevant to the establishment and other information relevant to the effect the special use would have on surrounding land uses or the residents of the Village.
Firearms related facilities subject to the following limitations:
   A.   Firearms related facilities may be located by special use only within the I-1 Zoning District.
   B.   Any special use allowing the operation of a firearms related facility shall be personal to the applicant/grantee.

   C.   Any person granted a special use to establish firearms related facility shall report and collect any Retailer's Occupation Tax or other Sales Tax due on any transaction to the Illinois Department of Revenue and shall pay all taxes when due.
   D.   The recipient of a special use to operate a firearms related facility shall maintain a record of all transactions by the facility which shall be available for inspection by any representative of the Police Department during regular business hours.
