The purpose of the Section is to implement Policy I.1.5 of the Waldo Comprehensive Plan.

The location of public, private, and charter schools sites shall be consistent with the following criteria:

1. The proposed school location shall be compatible with present and projected use of adjacent property.
2. Adequate public facilities and services are, or will be, available concurrent with the development of the school.
3. There are no significant environmental constraints that would preclude development of an educational facility on the site.
4. There will be no adverse impacts on archeological or historic sites or structures listed on the State of Florida Historic Master Site File, which are located on the site.
5. The proposed location shall be well-drained and soils shall be suitable for development, or shall, with drainage improvements, be adaptable for development and outdoor educational purposes.
6. The required site shall be able to accommodate the required parking and circulation of vehicles on the site.
7. Where feasible, the proposed site shall be so located to allow for co-location with parks, libraries, and community centers.

1. There are some uses which, because of their very nature, are recognized as having serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances, thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. These special regulations are itemized in this section.
2. The primary control or regulation is for the purpose of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area, to insure the integrity of the city’s residential neighborhoods and to protect the integrity of the city’s churches, schools, parks and playgrounds - areas where juveniles often congregate.
3. Nothing in this section shall be construed as permitting or allowing a violation of any state or federal law relating to obscenity.

1. The possession, display, exhibition, production, distribution and sale of books, magazines, motion pictures, videotapes, prints, photographs, periodicals, records, novelties and similar devices which depict, illustrate, describe or relate to specified sexual activities is a business that may exist in the future within the city of Waldo.
2. The operating and maintaining of places presenting dancers displaying or exposing specified anatomical areas are businesses that may exist in the future within the City of Waldo.
3. When the activities detailed below are present in an area of the City, other activities may tend to accompany them which are illegal, immoral or unhealthful, such as prostitution, lewd and lascivious behavior, exposing minors to harmful materials, possession, distribution and transportation of obscene materials, sale or possession of controlled substances, and violent crimes against persons and property; and these illegal, immoral or unhealthful activities tend to concentrate around and be aggravated by the presence of the activities detailed below.
4. Based upon evidence and testimony from the City’s professional planner, the grouping together of the activities described above lowers property values, detracts from the aesthetic beauty of residential, commercial and international neighborhoods and is harmful to juveniles who congregate in such areas.
5. Based upon evidence and testimony within other jurisdictions from various professional law enforcement officers, the grouping together of the activities described above creates an inordinate amount of concentrated crime in such areas.
6. Also based upon evidence and testimony from various other jurisdictions in Florida and the United States from professional law enforcement officers, any of the types of establishments at which the activities described above occur are likely to attempt to locate in any community which lacks adequate regulations to control such activities.
7. Also based upon evidence and testimony from various professional law enforcement officers and the City’s professional planner, the location of the activities described above near residential, institutional or other areas where juveniles often congregate lowers property values in such areas and exposes juveniles to the activities described above.
8. Based upon evidence and testimony received from the City’s professional planner, there will be free and reasonable access for and to the regulated uses, and the limitations imposed herein will not preclude robust competition with other regulated uses.
9. Based upon the experiences of other communities statewide and nationwide, the evidence and testimony of the City’s professional planner and law enforcement officers appear to be correct.
