It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to provide for the reasonable and uniform constitutionally permissible regulation of adult (sexually oriented) businesses in the City of Temecula. This City Council Finds that the secondary effects of adult businesses have a serious deleterious effect upon adjacent areas, as well as the areas in which they are located, It is therefore the purpose of this Ordinance to establish cdteria and standards for the establishment and conduct of adult businesses which will protect the public health, safety, and welfare, preserve locally recognized values of community appearance, minimize the potential for nuisances and community disruption related to the operation of adult businesses, and maintain local property values. B. Adult businesses, due to their nature as shown in the evidence referenced and incorporated herein, will affect significant changes in vehicular traffic, noise, pedestrian safety, air quality, parking, neighborhood character, and will create a demand on public safety and emergency services, and will have an adverse impact upon real estate values in the City of Temecula. C. It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to establish proper regulations and to. provide for a reasonable number of appropriately located sites for adult businesses within the City of Temecula, based upon the following findings: 1. The City Council in adopting this Ordinance takes legislative notice of the existence and content of the following studies that describe and substantiate the adverse, secondary effects of adult businesses: Austin, Texas: Indianapolis, Indiana: Los Angeles, California: Phoenix, Arizona: St. Paul, Minnesota: Garden Grove, California Upland, California New York, New York 1986 1984 1977 1979 1989 1991 1992 1994 2. Based on the foregoing studies and the other written and oral evidence. presented to the Planning Commission and this City Council, the City of Temecula finds that: a. Adult businesses are linked to increases in the crime rates of those areas in which they are located and that surround them; and, R:Ords\98-18 1 b. Both the proximity of adult businesses to sensitive land uses and the concentration of adult businesses tend to result in the blighting and downgrading of the property located within areas in which they are located. 3. The studies conducted in the identified communities referenced above demonstrate that the proximity and concentration of adult businesses adjacent to residential, recreational, religious, educational, or other adult businesses can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere; the same effect is believed to be applicable in this City in light of the circumstances present in our community. 4. The studies conducted in various communities referenced above have demonstrated that adult businesses are linked to increases in the cdme rates and blighting of those areas in which they are located and that surround them; the same effect is believed to be applicable in this City in light of the circumstances present in our community. 5. The special regulation of adult businesses is necessary to ensure that their adverse secondary effects will not contribute to an increase in the crime rates or the blighting or downgrading of the areas in which they are located or surrounding areas. The need for the special regulation is based on the recognition that adult businesses have serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances or ' located in direct proximity with sensitive uses such as residential zones and uses, parks, schools, churches, thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas and the subject property. 6. It is the purpose and intent of these regulations to direct the location of adult businesses and thereby to prevent such adverse secondary effects. Thus, in order to protect and preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry, especially minors, the special regulation of the time, place, and manner of the location and operation of adult businesses is necessary. 7. The protection and preservation of the public health, safety and welfare require that certain distances be maintained between adult businesses and residential uses and zones, churches, schools, parks and other adult businesses. In the preparation of this Ordinance, the City of Temecula has taken the location of residential, religious, educational, recreational and other adult businesses into consideration and has endeavored to minimize the effect that adult businesses have upon those sensitive areas and upon the community in general. Additionally, the secondary effects of adult-oriented or adult businesses described herein can be reduced if said businesses are located in shopping centers which will provide for maintenance, parking, security and other operational regulations, in addition to the regulations set forth herein, so as to enhance the compatibility of adult-oriented or sexually-oriented businesses with neighboring businesses or sensitive uses. 8. The need to regulate the proximity of adult businesses to sensitive land uses such as residential, religious, educational, recreational and other adult businesses is documented in studies conducted by other jurisdictions as listed elsewhere in this Section. 9. The report of the State of Minnesota Attorney General's Working Group on the regulation of adult businesses dated June 6, 1986, indicates that: a. Community impacts of adult businesses are primarily a function of R:Ords\98-18 2 two variables, proximity to residential areas and concentration. Property values are directly affected within a small radius, typically one block, of the location of a adult business. Concentration may compound depression of property values and may lead to an increase of crime sufficient to change the quality of life and perceived desirability of property in a neighborhood; and, b. The impacts of adult businesses are exacerbated when they are located near one another. When adult businesses have multiple uses (i.e. theater, bookstore, nude dancing, peep booths), one building can have the impact of several separate businesses. 10. In consideration of the findings of the report of the State of Minnesota Attomey General's Working Group on the regulation of adult businesses dated June 6, 1986, it is appropriate to prohibit the concentration of multiple adult businesses in order to mitigate the compounded concentrations as described above. 11. In adopting the regulations set out in this Chapter, it is recognized that locating adult businesses covered by this Chapter in the vicinity of facilities frequented by minors will cause the exposure of minors to adult material which, because of their immaturity, may adversely affect them. In addition, it is recognized that many persons are offended by the public display of certain sexual material. 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 and to an adverse effect on minors. 12. Zoning, licensing and other police power regulations are legitimate reasonable means of accountability to ensure that the operators of adult businesses comply with reasonable regulations and are located in places which minimize the adverse secondary affects that which naturally accompany the operation. 13. The City of Temecula has a legitimate health concern about sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS, which demands reasonable regulations of adult businesses in order to protect the health and well-being of its citizens. 14. The City Council has considered the decisions of the United States Supreme Court regarding local regulation of Adult businesses, including but not limited to: Young v. American Mini-Theaters. Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976) reh. denied 429 U.S. 873; Renton v. Playtime Theaters, 475 U.S. 41 (1986) reh. denied 475 U.S. 1132; FW/PRS. Inc. v, Dallas, 493 U.S. 215 (1990); and Barnes v. Glen Theater Inc., 111 S.Ct. 2456, 115 LEd 2d 504 (June 21, 1991 ). 15. The City Council has determined that Iocational criteria alone do not' adequately protect the health, safety and general welfare of the people of Temecula and thus certain requirements regarding the ownership and operation of adult businesses are in the public interest. 16. The City Council desires to protect the rights conferred by the United States Constitution. As such, the Council hereby legislates in a manner that ensures the continued and ordedy development of property within the City and diminishes, to the greatest extent feasible, those undesirable secondary effects which the aforementioned studies, case law and other evidence have shown as associated with the development and operation of adult businesses. 17. It is not the intent of the City Council under this Ordinance nor any provision thereof, to condone nor legitimize the distribution of obscene material, and the Council recognizes that state law prohibits the distribution of obscene materials and expects and encourages law R :Ords~98-18 3 enforcement officials to enforce State of Califomia obscenity statutes against such illegal activities in Temecula. 18. It is not the intent of this Ordinance to suppress any speech activities. protected by the First Amendment, but to enact a content neutral Ordinance which addresses the adverse secondary effects of adult businesses only as to permissible time, place and manner factors. 19. It is further the intent and purpose of the regulations set forth in this Ordinance to reduce the secondary effects of adult business upon other businesses and land uses within the community. 20. The provisions of this Ordinance would have no effect on the environment based on an Initial Environmental Study prepared for this Ordinance. D. On October 22, 1996, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 96-18 entitled "AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA IMPOSING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF ADULT BUSINESSES UNLESS SUCH BUSINESSES COMPLY WITH INTERIM STANDARDS PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION AND LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES AND MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH REGULATIONS." Ordinance No. 96-18 was adopted pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 and pursuant to Section 65858 had a term of forty five (45) days from its adoption. E. On November 12, 1996, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 96-20 entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF ADULT BUSINESSES UNLESS SUCH BUSINESSES COMPLY WITH INTERIM STANDARDS PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION AND LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES AND MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH REGULATIONS implements the above provisions and was intended to extend the moratorium adopted by Ordinance No. 96-18 and adopted the interim Adult business regulations for the pedod commencing on the expiration of Ordinance No. 96-18 and ending 10 months and 15 days thereafter. F. On September 9, 1997, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 97-15 entitled "AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF ADULT BUSINESSES UNLESS SUCH BUSINESSES COMPLY WITH INTERIM STANDARDS PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION AND LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES AND MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH REGULATIONS." Ordinance No. 97-15 was adopted pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 and pursuant to Section 65858 has an expiration date of October 15, 1998. G. The Planning Department has reviewed the interim regulations and studied revisions of them for the permanent regulations. This study included the sites available for adult businesses under the existing Zoning Ordinance and interim regulations to determine whether such locations continue to be appropriate for adult businesses and whether other locations would be appropriate, the potential concentration of adult businesses, and their location to other existing and future sensitive land uses. R:Ords\98-18 4 H. The City Council finds and determines that uses regulated or prohibited by this Ordinance would be in conflict with the general plan and with the zoning Ordinance for the location of adult businesses. It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to provide for the reasonable and uniform regulation of adult businesses in the City of Temecula. It is recognized that adult ' businesses have a serious deleterious effect upon adjacent areas, as well as the areas in which they are located if not properly regulated. It is therefore the purpose of this Ordinance to establish criteria and standards for the establishment and conduct of adult businesses which will protect the public health, safety, and general welfare, preserve locally recognized values of community appearance, minimize the potential for nuisances related to the operation of adult businesses, and maintain local property values. Uses prohibited by this Ordinance would affect significant changes in vehicular traffic, noise, pedestrian safety, air quality, parking, neighborhood character, and will create a demand on public safety and emergency services, and will have an adverse impact upon real estate values in the City of Temecula. I. On July 15, 1998, the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed public hearing on the issues addressed in the proposed Ordinance and duly considered the comments of the public in recommending approval of the adult use ordinance. J. On October 13, 1998, the City Council of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed ordinance. At said hearing the City Council considered the comments of the public prior to the adoption of this Ordinance.
