The illuminated face of all fixtures shall be parallel to the ground to create a total 90 degree cut off. Tilted fixtures are prohibited.

3. All lighting fixtures used to illuminate the ground beneath gas station canopies shall have lenses that are recessed or flush with the surface of the canopy to reduce glare on surrounding properties.

4. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street Parking Areas shall be directed or shielded away from residential properties and public streets such that the light source is not visible from the property line (so as to eliminate glare). In no case shall lighting exceed 1 foot candle measured at the property line. No lighting used to illuminate off-street Parking Areas shall create a nuisance.

5. Lighting system designs shall be evaluated part of the Site Plan Review process.

Glare is best reduced when the light source is not visible from adjacent properties. Therefore, the use of lenses, deflectors, shields, louvers, or prismatic control devices shall be used to eliminate nuisance and hazardous lighting to facilitate compliance with this requirement.

2. In all residential zoning districts, no light source shall cause illumination in excess of one (1) foot-candle in residential districts at any property lot line.

2-13. - Adult Uses.

2-13-A. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide specific regulations for adult uses, in order to accommodate constitutionally-protected non-obscene sexual expression, while protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare of the Village. The Village's Corporate Authorities find that:

1. adult uses require special supervision from the Village's law enforcement and public safety agencies to protect and preserve the public health, safety, morals, and welfare of the patrons and employees of businesses as well as the Village's citizens; and

2. adult uses are frequently used for unlawful sexual activities, including prostitution and sexual liaisons of a casual nature; and

3. sexually transmitted diseases are a legitimate health concern for the Village that demands reasonable regulation of adult uses by the Village in accordance with this Ordinance; and

4. this Ordinance's regulations are a legitimate and reasonable means of accountability to ensure that operators of adult uses comply with reasonable regulations and to ensure that operators do not allow their establishments to be used as places of illegal sexual activity or solicitation; and

5. there is convincing documented evidence that adult uses, because of their outward appearance and very nature, have a deleterious effect on both the existing businesses around them and the surrounding residential areas adjacent to them, cause increased crime, particularly during the overnight hours, and reduce property values; and

6. the Corporate Authorities desire to minimize and control these adverse effects by regulating adult uses in accordance with this Ordinance; and

7. by minimizing and controlling these adverse effects, the Corporate Authorities seek to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry; protect citizens from increased crime; preserve quality of life; preserve property values and the character of the Village's neighborhoods; and deter the spread of urban blight; and

8. the Corporate Authorities do not enact this Ordinance to suppress or authorize the suppression of any speech activities protected by the First Amendment; rather, this Ordinance establishes content-neutral regulations that address the secondary effects of adult uses; and

9. the Corporate Authorities do not enact this Ordinance to restrict, deny, or authorize the restriction or denial of access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment, or to deny, or authorize denial of, access by the distributors and exhibitors of adult entertainment and adult materials to their intended market; and

10. evidence concerning adult uses' adverse secondary effects on communities is readily available in many court decisions, including, but not limited to: Township of Littleton, Colorado v. Z.J. Gifts D-4, LLC, 541 U.S. 774 (2004); City of Los Angeles v. Almaeda Books, Inc., 535 U.S. 425 (2002); Township of Erie v. Pap's A.M., 529 U.S. 277 (2000); Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991); Township of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986); Young v. American Mini Theatres, 426 U.S. 50 (1976); California v. LaRue, 409 U.S. 109 (1972); Illinois One News, Inc. v. City of Marshall, 477 F.3d 461 (7th Cir. 2007); Andy's Restaurant & Lounge, Inc. v. City of Gary, 466 F.3d 550 (7th Cir. 2006); Joelner v. Village of Washington Park, 378 F.3d 613 (7th Cir. 2004); G.M. Enterprises, Inc. v. Town of St. Joseph, 350 F.3d 631 (7th Cir. 2003); Pleasureland Museum, Inc. v. Beutter, 288 F.3d 988 (7th Cir. 2002); Shultz v. City of Cumberland, 288 F.3d 831 (7th Cir. 2000); Genusa v. City of Peoria, 619 F.2d 1203 (7th Cir. 1980); Excalibur Group, Inc. v. City of Minneapolis, 116 F.3d 1216 (8th Cir. 1997); and XLP Corporation v. County of Lake, 359 Ill. App. 3d 239 (2d Dist. 2005) (collectively, the "Cases"); and

11. many cities and other units of government throughout the country have studied and found significant adverse secondary effects associated with adult uses, including, but not limited to: Phoenix, Arizona (1984); Minneapolis, Minnesota (1980); Indianapolis, Indiana (1984); Amarillo, Texas (1977); Whittier, California (1978); St. Croix County, Wisconsin (1993); Bellevue, Washington (1998); Beaumont, Texas (1982); and Des Moines, Iowa (1984) (collectively, the "Studies"); and

12. the United States Congress has heard testimony detailing the negative secondary effects associated with adult uses on numerous occasions, including 136 Cong. Rec. S. 8987; 135 Cong. Rec. S. 14519; 135 Cong. Rec. S. 5636; 134 Cong. Rec. E. 3750 (collectively, the "Testimony"); and

13. based on secondary effects discussed and found to exist in the Cases, Studies, and Testimony, as well as all evidence presented and matters discussed during all public hearings and meetings conducted by the Village, and all other relevant information, including the Corporate Authorities' own knowledge and experience, the Corporate Authorities find that:

a. Adult uses can contribute to increased crime in the area where such businesses are located and burden local law enforcement and public safety efforts. Crimes associated with adult uses include, but are not limited to:

i. prostitution and other sex related offenses;

ii. drug use and dealing; and

iii. money laundering.

b. Adult uses can contribute to significant public health concerns, including the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

c. Adult uses and their outward appearance can significantly:

i. contribute to the deterioration of residential neighborhoods;

ii. increase neighborhood blight;

iii. impair the character and quality of residential housing in the surrounding area; and

iv. reduce overall housing appeal for potential residents.

d. The concentration of adult uses in any one area can greatly impact the area by causing blight, decreasing property values, reducing the Village's tax base, making the area less attractive to non-adult uses (i.e., marketability), and increasing crime.

e. Adult uses can produce higher levels of noise, traffic, and glare as compared to other businesses by virtue of adult uses' hours of operation.

f. Serving or otherwise allowing the consumption of alcoholic liquor at adult uses can lead to increased criminal activity and exacerbate neighborhood deterioration.

g. Requiring adult use owners and operators to obtain a Special Use permit from the Village and comply with basic Special Use permit conditions will promote clear communication between the parties and enhance the Village's ability to address negative externalities related to adult uses.

h. The findings set forth above constitute substantial governmental concerns.

i. Adult uses have operational characteristics that require reasonable governmental regulation to address those substantial governmental concerns.

j. This Ordinance will promote and protect the public health, safety and welfare.

2-13-B. Application. A Special Use permit is required to establish or operate an adult use in the Village.

1. Form. The Special Use application for an adult use must be made on forms provided by the Village and, in addition to the requirements of Section 36-14-3, must include the following information:
