Section 42-420 Sexually Oriented Businesses.

[R.O. 1988 § 42-420; Ord. No. 4762, 10-2-2023]

It is the purpose of this Section to regulate the display of explicit sexual material and sexually oriented businesses in order to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of Rolla, Missouri, 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 explicit sexual materials. Similarly, it is not the intent nor effect of this Section to restrict or deny access by adults to explicit sexual 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 or effect of this Section to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene or offensive material of a sexual nature.

Based on evidence concerning the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses on communities as outlined in numerous studies/reports generally available for consideration, and on findings incorporated in a series of cases as found and included herein by reference to the IMLA Model Ordinance on Sexually Oriented Business Regulation, the City Council finds that:

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

Employees of certain sexually oriented businesses engage in higher incidences of certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of other establishments and that by offering or providing such locations may thereby create unhealthy conditions, unless properly regulated.

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 infections (HIV-AIDS), genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B amebiasis, salmonella infections and shigella infections. According to the best scientific evidence, AIDS and HIV infection, as well as syphilis and gonorrhea, are principally transmitted by sexual acts.

The number of cases of sexually transmitted diseases has been on the rise or remain at high levels in the United States.

The findings noted above raise substantial governmental concerns by establishing that sexually oriented businesses have operational characteristics that should be reasonably regulated in order to protect the public interest and to address substantial governmental concerns.

A reasonable licensing procedure is an appropriate mechanism to place the burden of that reasonable regulation on the owners and the operators of the sexually oriented businesses. Further, such a licensing procedure will place an incentive on the operators to see that the sexually oriented business is managed in a way consistent with the health, safety, and welfare of its patrons and employees, as well as the general public. 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.

Removal of doors on adult booths and requiring sufficient lighting on premises with adult booths advances a substantial governmental interest in curbing the illegal and unsanitary sexual activity occurring in adult theaters.

Requiring licensees of sexually oriented businesses to keep information regarding current employees and past employees will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by preventing minors from working in such establishments.

The disclosure of certain information by those persons ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the sexually oriented business, where such information is substantially related to the significant governmental interest in the operation of such uses, will aid in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

In the prevention of the spread of communicable diseases, it is desirable to obtain a limited amount of information regarding certain employees who may engage in conduct that this Section is designed to prevent, or who are likely to be witnesses to such conduct.

The fact that an applicant for a sexually oriented business license who has been convicted of a sexually related offense leads to the rational assumption that the applicant may engage in that conduct in contravention of this Section.

The barring of such individuals from the management of sexually oriented businesses serves as a deterrent to, and prevents conduct that leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

The general welfare, health, morals, and safety of the citizens of Rolla, Missouri, will be promoted by the enactment of this Division.

Statement Of Purpose. The general purpose of this Section is to regulate the placement, construction, and modification of telecommunications wireless communications facilities to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, while at the same time not unreasonably interfering with the development of the competitive wireless telecommunications marketplace in the City of Rolla.

Provide for the appropriate location and development of telecommunications facilities and systems to serve the citizens and businesses of the City of Rolla;

Minimize adverse visual impacts of wireless communications facilities through careful design, siting, landscape screening, and innovative camouflaging techniques that provide predictability for nearby property owners and others that future uses will not materially alter such approved aesthetic protections without zoning hearing procedures and input from interested parties;

Ensure that any new wireless communications facilities are compatible with the neighborhood or surrounding community to the extent possible; and

Ensure that regulation of wireless communications facilities does not have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services, does not unreasonably discriminate among functionally equivalent providers of such service and promotes the provision and availability of communication services within the City, and is no more burdensome than regulations applied to other types of infrastructure deployments.

Applicability; Preemption. Notwithstanding any ordinance to the contrary, the procedures set forth in this Section shall be applicable to all wireless communications facilities existing or installed, built, or modified after the effective date of this Division to the fullest extent permitted by law.
