The purpose and objective of this chapter is to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the secondary effects of sexually-oriented businesses in areas deleterious to the interests of the city and its residents, and to further the city's attempts to preserve the quality of urban life, reduce criminal activity and prevent the deterioration of neighborhoods, and to regulate the signage of such businesses, control the adverse affects of such signage, and prevent inappropriate exposure of such businesses to the community. This chapter is to be construed as regulating time, place and manner of the operation of these businesses, consistent with the United States and Utah constitutions.
