The purpose of this article is to regulate certain types of businesses, including,
but not limited to, adult entertainment establishments, to the end that the many types
of criminal activities frequently engendered by such businesses and the adverse affect
on property values and on the public health, safety, and welfare of the county, and
on its citizens and property, and on the character of its neighborhoods and development
will be curtailed. This article is not intended as a de facto prohibition of legally
protected forms of expression. This article is intended to represent a balancing of
competing interests: reduced criminal activity and protection of neighborhoods and
development through the regulation of adult entertainment establishments versus any
legally protected rights of adult entertainment establishments and patrons. This article
is not intended to allow or license any business, establishment, or activity which
would otherwise be unlawful.
