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.

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)
