Director's Report, Adult Entertainment, Department of <br />Construction and Land Use, City of Seattle, Washington, August <br />1989 <br />City of Renton, et al, Appellant V. Playtime Theatre, Inc., et <br />al, [475 US 41] [No. 84 -1360] <br />City of Minneapolis City Code <br />In summary, these background resources have established the <br />following: <br />1. Activities defined as adult uses are protected by First <br />Amendment to the United States Constitution. <br />2. A community must provide reasonable opportunity for adult <br />uses to exist. The Renton Washington Supreme Court case <br />provides a guideline in this regard. <br />3. Adult uses may produce a secondary impact or effect which is <br />judged as negative to the health, safety, and general <br />welfare of the community and as a result, these secondary <br />impacts or effects can be controlled. <br />4. A community, due to the secondary impact of adult uses, can <br />regulate such activities and restrict their proximity to <br />sensitive activity sites which are typically oriented toward <br />minors. <br />5. Due also to secondary impacts, a community can maintain the <br />separation of adult uses from one another. <br />6. A community has the right to police adult uses to insure <br />they are operating in a fashion where the secondary impacts <br />or affects are mitigated to the extent possible. <br />2 <br />Page 82 <br />
